Not to add to the table yet, until the chip is working.

Thanks RHA, I appreciate you collecting this data and putting it in table form.  Please let me know when the vendor confirms these numbers (hopefully in something other than a video…) and gives a ship date so we have know when we can reasonably expect third-party verification.


KnC's chips don't stand well here. They just took some fpga desing, converted it to asic with some manufacturer's standard technique, and are going to put as many cores on a die as they can.

I can't comment on KnC's specific case, but this sort of situation is exactly what the eta-factor is designed to detect -- crappy designs which have simply had gobs of money thrown at them in the form of super-expensive masksets.  Products like that do not have much of a future, but you can fool investors with them for a while...
