Does anyone have any data on the LX150 hash power in the real world? I've been hearing wild figures on the forum and IRC from 60mhash/s to 200mhash/s? I was told yesterday that in ISE he (irc user) was playing around and was pretty easily able to obtain an estimated >150mhash/s on the LX150. In another thread someone is saying it would take 9,000$ to make a spartan 6 LX150 board with 1.2ghash/s. Yet I'm finding processor online in bulk for less than 160$ a pop. Which information is real, which is not?
Who was playing around with it? I'd like to contact that guy to avoid duplicating effort
$9000 is certainly way off, but you should also consider the cost of board production, power supply components, and higher prices if you order lower quantities. If you include the cost of design and prototyping respins, $9000 might be close for the first couple of boards. Once the design has been polished I'd think $2000 for 1.2ghash/s might be possible.
