Usually takes awhile to iterate on designs, two weeks saved per iteration is huge.

Especially considering the cost of the engineers involved, you don't exactly pause those paychecks.

Agreed.

Since they work on microprocessors they must be familiar with pipelining techniques. These techniques apply to optimal use of microprocessor hardware. These techniques also apply to optimal use of engineering talent. High latencies make pipelining essential.
