Indeed, I'm not an ASIC technical guy.
Point taken. After Passover holiday (towards the end of next week) we'll publish some more technical data.
I do however know the exact status of the project and it's timeline. And everything I've said is true.

As explained multiple time before. The 2nd gen is a simple die shrink of our 1st gen ASIC. It's essentially the same engine.

Well, there enough people here who understand that with a simple die shrink noise margins shrink faster than the consumed power.

Anyway, I will gladly wait for an update after Nissan 22nd, 5774.

Meanwhile, please enjoy a belated happy Purim song, because I don't know any Passover songs.

Old debt. Some technical data and slides from RockerBox tapeout review done 10 days ago at Global Unichip.

Floorplan

Static IR in MLG 0.72V 85C

Static IR in 0.8V 125C

Dynamic IR in 0.8V 125C VCD mode

And my favorite ("RockerBox ultrasound"):

Engine pipeline placement

Not from the tapeout review, but also interesting:
