Re: 1GH/s, 20w, $700 (was $500) — Butterflylabs, is it for real? (Part 2)
Far outpacing any other FPGA offering.
Give me a break.
Its performance per watt is less than half of a 6s150 FPGA design.
It's very likely that these BFL units will become unprofitable later this year,
as more power-efficient technologies start to drive the network difficulty.
-rph
Give me a break. Show me one shipping unit that comes anywhere even CLOSE to BFL's offering. Go on... send me a link. Don't give me your theoretical bullshit you just spewed out in the quote. Show me something tangible. You can't, because you're talking shit.
(had to find the numbers in my IRC log
)Anyway - are BFL's actually shipping yet? ... No your one doesn't count
The guy with the Icarus that I keep chatting with (and helping) in IRC was getting a U: of 3.3/m with the testing we did last night (1 hour run)
(aside: with it connected to a router not a PC
)So that would imply 235Mh/s +/- something like 10%
And it was measuring 9W ...
