I'm not sure we will be selling upgrade modules as close as a week.
......
With respect to Neptune we are where we intended to be at this stage and are still contemplating aspects of the design. Understand that the approach is not the same as that of Jupiter. 28nm was extremely disruptive at the time, of which the effect can plainly be seen. Hashrate was given priority to power consumption,
.....
We will not skimp or rush the design here.
- "Never change a running system" - Having said this, it the inability to supply another batch / Upgrade modules is confusing. Maybe someone tried to "improve" and failed.
- Referencing the previous point, it looks like KNC has a Know-How advantage in their 28nm design. At this point abandoning this and starting "all over???" with a complete new design in 20nm makes me the techie in me cheer, and the economist in me wonder. KNC has proven to be able to do it. But if the tech-architects take majority over the tech-economists at KNC this means risc for everyone more interested in ROI than design.
Earth started space travel without even having the far superior design of a Warp drive. KNC, please don't go for the Warp drive design - think economist too. I believe in you being the most serious company out there. Don't prove me wrong.
