It's under spec. Not hugely, but significantly.
You mean that it's under spec by 1.25%? And that it is significant?
I don't want to defend HF here, but the only thing under spec that matters is the delivery date.
I wasn't implying anything about the relative importance of the two issues. Of course if this damn machine had been delivered when promised, it would have been f@rking fantastic... but it wasn't, not by a long shot. But why don't we keep that side of the discussion in the other thread?
Edit: Oh, ooops. I am in the other thread. Sorry.
Even it had been delivered on time, it would have been a bit underwhelming.
My KNC Jupiter cost $1362 more but it arrived in early october (2-3 weeks before HF expected shipping date) and runs at 550 GH/s at 575w (roughly the same power efficiency but much faster).
So hashfast would have been competitive if shipped on time, but still not that much better than the rest.
