Just heard back from SFards. Doesn't look like they are doing any demo or evaluation units at this time, unfortunately. They are doing MOQ 100 for the initial sales run due to limited quantity, and have not yet established shipping date or price.
I got the same answer to my email.
So I will pass on this. Good luck to those that buy it.
TBH, it's a bit troubling and seemingly out-of-touch with the market, to offer a brand new product to this community, without the opportunity to evaluate them prior to committing to a purchase of 100 units :|
And to be clear, I did inquire about purchasing a single unit for review on these forums, and was not given an option due to the MOQ 100.
Oh well. Game on ! Looking forward to these guys becoming available. Bitmain needs some competition.
