Well right now Kilo is pretty much the designated agent for getting chips. My conversation with Punin got as far as giving him some info to make out and send me an NDA around the end of January (which I never received) and then about two weeks later he dropped a line mostly to let me know he'd posted the 28nm info stuff. That's pretty much it.

I have 2 other people that are actually communicating with me and I will have the chips when they are released.  Wink
AFIK the chip is a fact. In some posts Punin wrote about  eng samples and the video part 1,2,3 in youtube are showing this.
But... when production run will be available and if they are going to sell small quantities or samples is another question .
I think that it is not only up to Punin and big USD will talk Wink

the videos on youtube show a fine chip.

If sidehack builds us a piece of gear that volts down to .07 and up to .12  it will be very nice

Vcore of .3V to .8V would be better, IMHO, spawning efficiencies of ~.06W/GH/s and ~.15W/GH/s respectively.
Guestimates per the vid's
