Surely Google uses (a portion of, at least) their massive compute resources to do exactly this sort of thing before these chips even get anywhere close to an assembly line or being built in to new devices? Is an independent security researcher going to be able to try anything Google themselves haven't already tried?

Or is it kind of like brute-forcing a 256-bit key where, no matter how much "firepower" you have available, you'll never come close to trying all possible combinations of inputs, etc.?

It isn't so much one guy vs all of Google doing the work. It's more like the team that Google employs vs the entire rest of the infosec and academic community. This is a treasure.
