Track; not yet
- Why
- Strong 3x / 65% lab results from a Tier-3 primary source, but Microsoft itself states it is pre-production with unresolved manufacturing, durability and serviceability work, and engineering press confirms no timeline plus a hard dependency on bespoke silicon.
- Next
- Monitor for a named production silicon generation and a third-party-verified reliability/leak figure before treating as a planning input
Constraints

No named blocker is present in the current public projection.
