Acorn was to be released in August. Whenever there were questions about SQRL Miner (to test it even without Acorn) the answer was that it would be released with Acorns. It is already December 5. Hardware without software is useless. By the way, the numbers illustrating the advantage of using Acorn, were released in June, I believe.

Exactly. Back in june for example a 1080 Ti was able to reach 15-18 MH/s, depending on PL. Now we are at 24-28 MH/s.
No information if the Acorn FPGA is able to generate the same percentage of improvement or if the software miner were able to close the gap "a little".

That's due to the eth enlargement pill which was a unique case, that still doesn't have anything to do with fpga. Software solutions wouldn't be able to compete with offloading certain work to an fpga that the fpga is excellent at.

I forgot to add the information I talk about X16R ... not ETH. Sorry for the missing info. Pill don't have an effect on X16R because of the low RAM dependency.
All cards (1050 Ti also for example) have seen a very large hashrate improvement since the promises about increased X16R hashrate with acorns was released.
The question is, how is the improvement today?

ETH different story.
