Does this count?:


so Gen2 is skipped?
I'd also be very interested to hear the answer to this.

It's frustrating seeing responses which indicate that all the questions in this thread are being read, yet ignored.

Yes, it was skipped. FC mentioned this in the past. Apparently the performance wasn't as good as they hoped and they just decided to move on... probably a good move.
According to friedcat Gen2 is not worthwhile for 2 reasons:
1) Gen2 would come out relatively late due to some factors outside of AM's control
2) Gen3 shows promising results and the roll-out seems to be better/more reliably organized

Thus funds are better to be spent on Gen3 hardware. The production schedule will depend on a risk/reward ratio determined by friedcat. Deviations from the schedule need to be anticipated when rolling out a new product technology, so hedge accordingly when speculating on AM.

Thanks for the quotes.

I'm not sure.. the problem I have is this: There are some sources (like the reputable, Chinese interview girl) and I really don't doubt that what they say is the truth, but it seems there is much lost in translation for example and it's not really an official source at all. Just think about the confussion that was created from this "1000 PH" statement. I just wish the first source would be friedcat and not a third party.

But thanks again. Smiley
