Today we have a very important update, the Chinese team is simulating a lot of design simultaneously and worked almost non-stop for the last 48 hours targeting different process sizes.

The results are more than positive, i will try to outline them in the clearest way possible.

1) The 65nm 500Mhz is still undergoing post-verification phase, while another simulation is ongoing at 600Mhz and we're waiting for the results.

2) Post simulations yielded positive results on a 130nm, 300Mhz, Power 0.8W, 6.5x6.5mm design.

   The team is working on HDL optimizations to get 16 cores for chip.

   Some math, quoted from the tech team

Quote

"300M*16=4.8G, 0.8*16=12.8W, Area=130,0000*16=2080,0000, make the utilization ratio to 50%, the chip size will be about 4160,0000um2, about 6.5mm x 6.5mm"

"Power consumption per GHash is 12.8W/4.8G=2.7W/GHash"

"Estimated selling price for chip, 8-9 USD"

What does this mean ? i think it's not hard to get. 130nm process and 5GH speed at slightly higher power consumption, but competitive prices.

Shoot any question guys

estimated selling price of 8-9 USD is affordable, is this confirm??

I wonder if the calculations are correct. the "a 130nm, 300Mhz, Power 0.8W, 6.5x6.5mm design" means the size for 1 core is 6.5*6.5. or for 16 cores?
That is very confusing.
