Would rocksie delivering in March equal "mass delivery"? Or are we talking sample chips quantities?
>>>
The sample miner will be availble in April and the chips would be AM's Gen3.
specification: AM gen3 chips, 40nm, 1TH, 500W.
It could mean the first samples of their miners are due in April and not be in direct relation with the quantity of chips on hand. I don't think I have seen any indication on the actual number of chips.
Again we are left to interpret what came from the reddit and Chinese forum posts so take it for what it's worth. The information of true value will come from the horses mouth.
From there we are led to believe all of batch 1 was accounted for and rockxie was solely or partially the recipient of that batch. I suggest that if the vast majority went to rockxie then rockxie is the source of revenue to this point. That revenue could come in many forms including mining equipment. Now within those same reddit messages is an endorsement for rockxie claiming he is on AM board of directors. If this is the case one would assume the relationship between FC and rockxie would extend some professional courtesies and not treat him merely as a customer. Therefore to assume revenue would look like a tradition sale of product IMHO is probably a bad assumption.
That, and how many chips are in batch 1. Could be 100, could be 10.000+. I *suppose* they have taped out and are either waiting for samples or a small rocket run.
