 UTFCA BGA 1380 and only 17mm on a side holy F*** that's insane.  so
that's around 0.4mm pitch BGA ball pads are they out of their tiny
f*****g minds??  how the hell is *any* PCB or assembly factory going
to cope with that??  it'll need something insane like 1.5 mil tracks
and 12 layer PCB designs.

 intel's designers are completely out of their f*****g minds.


 other than that, the scenario design power (scenario - not max) looks
like it could be okay.


 sooo now all we need is access to the PMIC associated with it, full
set of Reference Designs, the backdoor processor instruction set and
the RSA Secret Key that allows us to guarantee that there's no spyware
running on the backdoor co-processor.

 not much to ask, eh?
