Has there been any information regarding new Asicminer datacenter(s) and/or power capacity?
I think that would be the critical bottleneck at the moment, since we know they have many tens of PH worth of chips, and we know their approximate efficiency and the approximate capacity of their old farms. I think they could only bring online ~2PH worth if they haven't acquired more locations/capacity since last gen.
I'd love to believe AM is behind the recent big rises in network hash rate, but that would require significant developments on this front as well...
Obviously my information is dated, please correct any facts I've messed up.

Well, as far as i know there is only this:

Update

1. Due to the relatively lower interest from individual miners as well as OEM producers, the self mining has re-started from middle of July. We had gain access of cheap electricity and high power capacity. We hope to regain the average hashrate percentage similar to 2013 with this generation of chips.

To dear shareholders:

We indeed had a hard time starting from the end of 2013. The BE200 performance was inferior than expected, and our prediction for the capacity of OEM producers and the individual mining market was a big miss. However, we had not stopped our work on designing our own products and finding proper farms after our chips passed the tests. Meantime we had tried many cooperations with OEMs (premium+balance payment, chip franchising) but the overall improvement on volume was not significant. Now the new hardware solution matures and we got the resources on deploying, we can turn the newly produced chips to the market where the highest margin is.
