I stopped giving a crap for a couple weeks but now I'm back and now BFL's website has actual pictures of the finished product. That means they have some chips, are assembling and testing some, and are obviously close to shipping.
Yeah, only those chips you saw? Mock-ups. They don't have any chips at BFL, mostly because the chips don't even exist yet. Apparently the chips are going to be finished by next week, maybe, with luck. BFL doesn't know. They have no idea when their chips are going to be finished. But it could be next week. With luck. Who knows?
Filtering through the Inaba speak this is probably how it's gonna go:
- Finally understanding how Asian fabs work, BFL raises their order from 20000 chips to 100000 to bump up their place in the production queue.
- Fab decides they finally have time for that weirdo BFL company ....
