full custom, so is our 3rd gen.
Speaking of which, is that still Pickaxe (80/20 custom/auto), or do I need to be adding a line to the wiki?
On the BitFury end.. as 16nm is claimed to have taped out, is there any chance we can prise some more solid info on the 28nm chip?

I don't trust any claim from any company until a product is brought to market. In late June I think or early July KnC announced a 3D 16nm chip without any specifications or backup.
Lots of running of mouths to the press little in the way of public demonstrations. This is something the community needs to get rough on with any and all manufacturers. These companies need to be transparent in their home mines as well as the products they 'pronounce' or 'propose' to sell in the future. It's bad enough the are moving full steam ahead with consolidated mining operations. It's just like Central banks with a new spin, which wasn't the point of crypto-currency and BTC in the first place.
