eep, $90k/reel is up 50% from the last reel pricing I knew of... that doesn't bode well for profitability.

just for your information,it s almost 30 times of the costs of one wafer a wafer could contain easily 3000/4000 chips

a very good profit margin i have to say

Few months ago Bitfury posted some numbers. I think it was 4400 chips from one wafer...

yes that should be the right number so this give a more comfortable margin as a wafer is 2900/3000 usd
so costs of a chip is 0.68 usd sold for a discounted price of 67500 euros/3000=22.50 euros almost 30 usd

a discounted margin of 29.30 usd/chip

who is interested now?

You forgot packaging, but propably it's still less than 1$

qfn packaging is the cheapest in the market and it s around 0.15 usd/chip aprox

still .....
