Just in case you don't know, ASICMiner is mining with these oldhat tech 130nm "ASIC" chips.

No, Asicminer is mining with oldhat, but less older, 110nm ones. Labcoin and Btcgarden preferred to go to even older tech at 130nm and promise better chips. Great promises right? Cool

No, AM are using 130nm, Avalon are the ones using 110nm.

Damn, you are quite right! Grin

Update

A lot of great thing happened last week. We wiped over the obstacles (infrastructure and paperwork) on deploying and put a lot of our available hashrate online. We also did a significant improvement (power, design, appearance) on the USB stick from the sample batch to the production batch.

For the discussion in the last few days, what we... I could say, is only that our IC design team had achieved fantastic results, as everyone could see and compare, with the most limited funds (barely more than 100k$ raised last August) and most inferior mask-set of choice (130nm which belongs to the antiquity era), and I'm proud of it.

Interesting that friedcat considers that their "IC design team had achieved fantastic results", while the newer 130nm guys all think they can produce much much better chips... Roll Eyes

They achieved fantastic results because they were the first (?) to get ASIC's hashing - its also interesting that friedcat openly says (and rightly so) that 130nm tech is basically a joke. But the joke is on the companies coming to market NOW with joke tech. I'm expecting AM to replace their tech with 45nm or so... they've got the money for it now.
