Just because it was made 9 months later means it's somehow an inferior chip?
AM's chip basically what I'd expect a Bitfury 40nm chip to be like. (had they not scrapped it)
This is bitcoin world. 9 months is almost like 5 years. I wouldn't brag with that "on par" chip after 9 months. Maybe in May AM will produce a chip with 0.5J/GH efficiency that is the standard since August.
Please do tell which manufacturer is selling 0.5 J/gh hardware.
It's on par with a Bitfury 40nm not 55nm. It is equally efficient yet half the price of their 55nm.
