Re: Time to sue ButterflyLabs - Big Single-SC owner let's league for class action
I'm surprised that BFL didn't get better efficiency than they did. Just going from 90nm to 65nm should double efficiency, right? Then where's the additional advantage of using the full custom approach? I'm comparing with the current power estimate of the bASIC.
If you think the 54 GH/s ASIC is going to pull only 100w, I have a bridge to sell in Brooklyn as well. The 27 GH/s units might be around 100w, though.
That bridge is still available for sale?

BFL Confirms 65nm Process for SC Lineup
by JUSTIN PORTER on NOVEMBER 6, 2012
Aiming for longevity and efficiency of their products, Butterfly Labs (BFL) has confirmed their new SC chips will be using a 65nm process, the same transistor size as was used for Intels wildly successful Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors. As BFLs main competitors, Avalon and bASIC, are reportedly built on 110nm and 90nm processes respectively, BFL should be able to hold the position of market leader in mining efficiency for some time to come.
BFLs soon-to-be-released SC product lineup includes the Jalapeno ($149 for 4.5GH/s), the Little Single SC ($649 for 30GH/s), the Single SC ($1,299 for 60GH/s), and the Mini Rig SC ($29,999 for 1,500GH/s). All of these products will utilize BFLs full custom ASIC 65nm chips, expected to run at 1 watt per GH.
Josh Zerlan, a BFL representative, expects to have chips in hand by the end of November and begin initial shipments shortly after. The number of units to be shipped in the first batch has not yet been determined. Josh also released new photos of the heat sinks for our viewing pleasure.
