Has there been any confirmation that the Gen II chips will be compatible with the original footprint?

Which Gen II chips? I don't believe Yifu is able to produce anything worth buying in the 28nm era. Even if he does accomplish that, nobody will preorder anything from him, ever. He maybe alive and well, but business-wise he is dead.

Here is the spec for the A3255 chip: https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref/blob/master/SPEC/A3255Q48-130929-V03-EN.pdf

Wow, spec published two weeks ago, announcing the chip with 2.05Ws/GHash power consumption. That is an electricity waster, burning 3x more electricity than the current generation of chips. Now they only have to tape-out and manufacture it while the difficulty skyrockets. Good luck to them finding the suckers to buy these things.
