 Right now, we're targeting an (quad core, 800mhz, dual issue, GPU, VPU, [and later an ML inference core] ) SOC.
 
+## 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 the bad actors 
+regularly exploit.
+
+But beyond the contemporary ever increasing cry for privacy, is a very real need for reliable safety critical processors.
+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 developer's their code behaves as they 
+expect. An ISA level simulator is no longer satisfactory.
+
+Refer to this [paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4519604) authored by Cyberphysical System expert Ed-Lee for more details.
