Do not be angry, but it seems that these guys do not know what they make.
If you have a chip with 192 cores asics performing a hash per cycle.
520,000,000 cycles are 520 Mhz    99840000000 hashes 99.84Ghs  
620,000,000 cycles are 600 Mhz  115200000000 hashes 115.2Ghs

But this is not important, the important thing is to know ETA chips.

You're right.  It's not important.

But other then that of course they don't know what the final specs will be.  They won't know that until the chips are done. It depends on the yield as far as the hasher engines.  It depends on thermal output. It depends on a lot of things. Avalon chips are actually underclocked and undervolted, presumably to help with cooling and power, yet they perform 36-40% better then what they were advertized as. .  That's because Bitsyncom gave themselves a large margin between what they advertized and what they were designing for (their chips work up to 450Mhz at the right voltage)

As far as the ETA on their chips, it's certainly something someone considering ordering now should consider. But at the same time I'm not really sure it's a good idea at this point unless they can specify when in October they'll actually ship, as well as how many units they're actually going to sell.  If it's late October and they're going to flood the market, might not be a good deal. Especially if HashFast ships, let alone cointerra.

But its most direct competition already has the chip.

You mean bitfury?   It's weird that we're not hearing more about them.  We probably should be. Oh well.
