17 more days until scheduled Gen3 (40nm) tapeout if I am reading the tea leaves correctly. Just over two weeks. If they make this deadline I think folks will feel quite a bit more comfortable with their positions.
Because every single ASIC deadline ever has been met on time.
How many deadlines has AM missed again?
At least one. 2nd gen chips coming out in November.
I don't remember an official statement about gen2. I think it was more or less hinted at with no clear date until it was decided to be skipped.
Here you go:
Project Timeline
August-September: Deploy/sell all hashpower arriving in July and early August.
September-November: Deploy/sell the hashpower ordered at early July.
November-December: Experimental products of 2nd-gen chips and modular large-scale deployment solutions.
I don't think that counts as a missed deadline. As I understand it, there were experimental Gen2 chips and products for testing in November. Unfortunately, they did not live up to expectations. Modular large-scale deployment solutions appear to be on-track as promised though.
