Given the fact that performant bug-free processors no longer exist, how can you trust your processor? The next best thing is to have access to a processor’s design files. Not only have access to them, you must have the freedom to study and improve them.
-Such a processor is referred to as a Libre processor. However, processors themselves are only a part of the picture. Nowadays, most contemporary computing tasks involve artificial intelligence, media consumption, wireless connectivity, etc.
+Such a processor is referred to as a Libre processor. However, processors themselves are only a part of the picture. Nowadays, most contemporary computing tasks involve artificial intelligence, media consumption, wireless connectivity, etc... Thus, we must deliver an entire LibreSOC.
-## But Why do I need a LibreSOC?
-Its entirely possible that you're OK with the fact that modern processors have
-[backdoors](https://www.csoonline.com/article/3220476/researchers-say-now-you-too-can-disable-intel-me-backdoor-thanks-to-the-nsa.html) that bad actors
-regularly exploit.
+## Benefits: Privacy, Safety-Critical, Peace of Mind...
+Our LibreSOC will not have backdoors that plague modern [processors](https://www.csoonline.com/article/3220476/researchers-say-now-you-too-can-disable-intel-me-backdoor-thanks-to-the-nsa.html).
-But beyond the contemporary ever increasing cry for privacy, is a very real need for reliable safety critical processors(think airplane, smart car, pacemaker...).
+There is a very real need for reliable safety critical processors(think airplane, smart car, pacemaker...).
LibreSOC poses to you that it is impossible to trust a processor in a safety critical environment without both access
to that processor's source and a cycle accurate HDL simulator that guarantees developers their code behaves as they
expect. An ISA level simulator is no longer satisfactory.
