Power Consumption: 4.2 J/GHash

Packaged Chip Size: 6 mm x 6 mm


As a past ASICMINER shareholder, for about an hour Smiley, I'm simply curious about the changes within the specifications.

If the wattage has been lowered to from ~8 to 4.2 and the package area reduced from an estimated 21mm sq to 6mm sq. can we assume that additional sacrifices in hashrate were made to accommodate the smaller package and reduce heat issues?
