Sounds like the words of a company that tests their stuff before sending out... but I obviously was not involved in Avalon's ordering process, what they paid for, how TSMC handled their order, etc... just curious where your expertise comes in and what exactly needs to be tested with these chips after leaving TSMC? Wouldn't TSMC at least do some type of wafer acceptance test?
Why you are defending Avalon's lies? I can tell you the last part of the "update" about the trade-ins is a complete lie. There are number of hero members on this forum who can attest to it.
How am I defending Avalon?
That quote is from TSMC's website... TSMC sounds like a company that tests their stuff before sending out to Avalon, so I am not sure what additional testing is necessary for Avalon to be doing... Gandalf seemed to think otherwise, and I was just curious as to what types of testing he believes the chips need to go through AFTER arriving at Avalon? (because it makes no sense to me)
Even if testing *should* be done, I am not sure it is really that necessary considering most group buy members ended up purchasing a couple extra chips, and I highly doubt there is going to be any high percentage of defects coming from TSMC - it seems like this is just a comment/excuse by Avalon to keep us going a little longer...
