The first run will yeild 1000-1500 chips @ 130nm, 300Mhz, Power 0.8W, 6.5x6.5mm design. With specs of 5 GH at 2.7W/GHash.
From the IPO details.
So what is it with these chips? "Power 0.8W" at 2.7W/GHash would mean the chips have around 300Mhash/s,
which is about that of AM chips.
On the other hand there is the number of 5GHash as "specs". Are those the specs of the finished miners?
Can someone clear that up for me?
Edit: With the 15 chip PCBs that would also mean that 15 chips * 300MHash/s equal about 5GHash/s
so it would be 5GHash/s for a full board. Not for each chip
The chips are only able to run at 1.8Gh/s and they've been having issues with them, but it's possible some of that may be fixable in software.
It would be nice if they gave us a more detailed schedule for when they're going to bring hashpower online. Right now it's "
Two WeeksTM" before they are
supposed have 25x their current hashpower.
If they achieve that it should certainly boost the price. If they don't, it will tank.
