Can't be true. One can easily design a 16ish bit processor in under a week's time. But it will have to be embedded. You are right if you mean a "competitive general purpose uP". It is awfully hard to compete single-handedly against the likes of Intel.

This was in response to the following claim in parent message: "The story I hear is that Frederico Faggin was the last guy to single-handedly design a uP (Z-80). "
