How many people do you have working on this?
If you're moving 1500 units you'll need a certain amount of security and physical infrastructure to handle all the orders. Do you have pictures of the facility you'll use to process everything without things getting stolen?
Do you have an actual address? (Not just a PO box)
What happens if you don't get enough actual orders during preorder?
How does the ROI using your FPGA compare to using an Amazon EC2 F1 instance?
Not to jump in, but Im handling the physical side. This volume of goods is cheap in the big world tbh. Also kind of funny to imply physical security is a risk and then ask for the address of the warehouse holding the cards in a public forum.
Guess he wasn't slick enough, lol.
On topic, would utilizing full PCIe 3.0 x16 lanes play a performance factor for the board you guys are building? For example, some motherboards have 4-6 pcie x16 slot but for sure they are not all going be pcie 3.0 x16 speed due to most CPU have a limited amount of available PCIe lanes.
Now, for the AMD Threadripper, it has 64 PCIe lanes, so it can for sure make use of multiple pcie 3.0 x16 at its full speed. Wonder if this matters or not.
Our existing designs are only using PCIe 3.0 x1 connectivity. I had anticipated most of these would end up in open air gpu cases connected to risers.
