Well, I'm not sure anyone confirmed how many chips were in it either.  If they were running a full 8 chips @ 25GH/s, then it doesn't come close to 75%.

Technically, the number of chips is irrelevant; neither the bet nor BFL's order forms said that customers were ordering a certain number of chips. The units are specified purely by hashrate.

That would sure matter to the pre-order line up though, wouldn't it?

Certainly. They're kind of fucked if they need to double up the chips on every unit.

btw, what is the lead time on extra wafers when your yield estimate goes to hell?

A while.
