Howeverhe was referring to all of the sand in the world that has not yet been turned into chips!The first mention of the term I've seen in its current context was by ARM CTO Mike Muller at ARM techcon in October 2009. I've heard other folkssay that the term was used by others in ARM and/or HiPeaC community earlier than then. Although ARM techcon happenedafter
