The picture posted above is an evaluation board or development board for developers, not for end user.

There was a press conference last week in Beijing, where participants can buy those boards and chips.
And those boards are delivered to developers in other part of China this week.

There is no detail information of miners for end user by now. The only info for USB miner is that one USB miner is equipped with 4 or 5 chips, depending on the temperature and cooling design. And USB miner is powered externally with an additional power cable.

That's all the info I know by now. I will let all of you know when new info is published.
I'm Chinese, and I'll do the translator job for all of you don't understand Chinese. Hope my translation is better than Google's. Cheesy

BTW, I brought two development boards and they should be delivered to me in one or two days. I'll post my experience after some testing.

Super!

Can you share with us what was the cost of dev boards?

Thank you

At the press conference, the dev board is 500CNY each, and 400CNY for one chip only.
It's ~82USD each dev board, and ~65USD each chip.

You can check chip's datasheet here: https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc and calculate its $/GHash

Personally, I hope the miner's price will be much lower than $65/chip. But there are still many people think the price will remain the same.

Thank you

Unfortunately 65 USD/chip for mass production is not a deal for me. Let us hope that they will lower the price when time comes.
Best

Do you think you could ask them if they're using 512Kbit or 256Kbit of memory per core? I'm curious if they're using "lookup gap" 2 or 3.
