It was possibly a design, but I don't think it made it farther then that. I'm guessing it never made it to prototype phase.
No, it was prototyped over four months ago. If I'm thinking right, 8 of these boards clocked at 200MHz would get you over 3TH off 1KW from the wall.
I did not realize it was 3T on 1 KW. That is more impressive then I thought it was. I could have seen them wanting to sell out of S4+ before releasing them if those specs are close.
But with S4+ sold out. I'm not sure what they are really waiting for. I think the silence still means a good chance they will not end up doing this.
