It appears gen3 is still selling and going for 1 RMB/ghash.
Where is that info from? Isn't that at or below cost?
Well I was buying some chips myself and decided NOT to do it.
Due to all the nonsense that gets passed around on this thread, unless you can prove what you're saying then everyone should just treat it as FUD. There's just too many fudsters trying to play the market or just simply trolling.
As for the price of the chip, FC did mention it but he didn't give a specific price:
Update
Next Gen Chips
The projected time of taping out of Gen3 is January 20. Power consumption target estimation is <0.2W per G on low power mode and <0.2$ per G on wafer cost. Please notice that the timeline is of course subject to change/adjust, and the estimation on power and cost is also based on software tool/simulation results.
