thanks for the numbers. gives some hope to early buyers like us. but absence of a demo video is ruining all the hopes even for planned mid september delivery.
Without knowing the number of A2s that were released during the same period of time, it's hard to allocate how much of the LTC hashrate was attributed to KNC Titan and the A2s.
We're relatively confident that there are no impending new chips from other manufacturers so any large increase in hashrate will be mostly A4s. I'm assuming that big batch of KNC Titans released a few months ago are now online.
You need to make additional assumptions to get to a 25% increase for LTC with the release of the A4. Being very generous, LTC is about 50% of the entire scrypt hashrate at this moment. Sort on "Network Hashrate".

Therefore, to get a 25% increase in hashrate for LTC, you would need to increase the entire network hashrate by 2x of the new LTC hashrate which would be .48TH x 2 or .96 GH.
To summarize, Innosilicon would need to ship ~3400 units to increase the entire scrypt network hashrate by .96TH so 50% of that would go to LTC to increase the LTC hashrate overall by 25%. Massive assumption because for the math to work out, all 3400 units would need to go online today.
Personally, I'd settle for a youtube video of just one full rig working, happily hashing away at 280MH, with a voice over talking about the most profitable miner in the world today.
