Do i interprete friedcat correctly here that Asicminer and Avalon are letting create their ASIC's in a foundry of TSMC? See here:
3) They would consider a 2/3 yield rate a non-failed one. However in most circumstances the rates are much higher than this bottom line. Made-in-China of course are connected with the impression of lower quality, but calculating with a whole project should put the overall cost into consideration. TSMC has higher threshold for newcomer clients and is less affordable.

I would need to know how Avalon is delivering their ASIC Chips. Unfortunately they have at the moment no support. So i have to guess.

Update

After a long and anxious waiting, we have finally got our packaged chip samples at hand. Everyone would be busy in the following 2-3 weeks.

The following pics are taken from my cellphone.

When i count the chips in each of these tubes i get to 30. And avalon is giving out exactly 30 sample chips per 10k chips ordered too. The ASICMINER ASIC shown looks similar small than avalon ASIC's. Avalon ASIC's are 7x7mm big.

So you think it is a relatively sure guess to think that Avalon Asics will come in the same form? I need to buy the packaging to ship such chips, so i need to know how they are delivered...
