News from a Chinese miner forum:http://cybtc.com/article-655-1.html

Rockxie, who is the exclusive distributer for Asicminer's mining machine in China, announced that he will produce his own miners.
The sample miner will be availble in April and the chips would be AM's Gen3.

specification: AM gen3 chips, 40nm, 1TH, 500W.

Indicates 0.5 W/GHs and that the tapeout was successful? Am I missing something?

Interesting..
"另外彩云比特从烤猫处了解到第一批三代芯片已经销售完毕。"
tanslate: BTW,FC told CYbtc that the 1st bach of Gen 3 chips has been sold out.

I believe in the absence of information much has been interpreted with respect to ASIC release based on the previous posts which IMHO are open to various interpretations and are inconclusive in determining the general picture on the ASIC delivery issue.

I believe what they want to say is that the first batch of gen3 SAMPLE chips (or wafers) have been pre-orderd.
