Those that are trolling against peta, do they not know that it appears that everyone is having issues deploying 28nm tech.
Can someone name 1 chip/hardware manufacturer that has never had any setbacks or delays when producing hardware?
I can recall only 1 delay in the history of intel chips, where a critical bug was detected in the Sandy bridge chipset 2 of 3 days after shipping.
I know what you're thinking. Intel had plenty of delays. That is probably true, but there is 1 critical difference: intel doesn't announce a launch date until they are sure they can meet it. In contrast to, for example, BFL. I think that the word 'setback' is too kind because they are just lying against customers, promising ship dates that are unrealistic.
Also, cut the constant name calling.
1 last thing that speaks to the professionalism NOT amateur nature of cryptx/petamine. Found this on their website.
To ensure a fast deployment at a low cost, we decided to produce our own mining hardware based on the A1 chips. To accomplish this, we have currently 3 teams working on 3 different designs. We will choose the most optimal design in terms of costs and convenience for our production.
They are working on 3 different pcb designs at once. That to me screams professionalism and that they know the issues that can arise and are attempting to avoid them.
Designing a PCB is not the hard thing. Designing a chip is. Also they are designing a PCB.. with whose money exactly? The IPO doesn't mention cost for designing PCB's.
