Not to add to the table yet, until the chip is working. The calculated value however explains much.

KnC Promised Figures
Design    MH/s        Device        Process node, $\lambda$        Area        η    (H*pm/s)
KnCMiner100.0GH/s
Custom
3025mm2
90.71

The area is package area, actual chip area will be significantly smaller, so the η value will be higher.
Edit: The die area is exact (55 mm x 55 mm), the package is 90 mm x 90 mm. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by-je8XRCdY

Second edit: I must had misunderstood the video when I had been watching it for first time. There they stated quite clearly, the chip (the package) would be the size shown, about 60 mm x 60  mm,
not the die, which will be much smaller.
The conclusion:  η  should be significantly greater than 90.
