For example, you completely missed my points about HF's 16nm IP, and myopically focused only on the 28nm stuff.

No you completely missed my point. If AM's 40nm chip outperforms HF 28nm chip, then AM's 16nm chip will without a doubt outperform HF's 16nm chip.

That is assuming the hashfail chip even works without requiring a few million dollars worth of NRE/revisions/etc.

Has AM already paid for their 28nm tape-out? If they haven't, that's a few million dollars (and a lot of risk) they could save by purchasing a known-good 28nm design instead. The GN1.5 respin and 16nm GN2 nextgen are just extra gravy on top.

If you weren't a twit with poor reading skills you would have known they taped out 2 months ago.

Again it's laughable that you consider HF GN1 a "known good design" when it is outperformed by every chip being sold today.

You were scammed by HF. Your money is gone. Stop trying to sell people garbage in an attempt to salvage pennies on the dollar.

AM's 40nm design missed its spec by a lot. HF's GN1 28nm exceeded it's spec and the GN1.5 respin will be even better.

As for GH/wafer, I don't think either of us knows which is superior. But I'm sure you will pretend you do, just to be a Negative Nancy as usual. Wink

I don't submit every page in this thread to my superior reading skills, that's why I asked about AM's tape-out.

Regardless, the battle for 4th gen ASIC dominance is happening at 16nm. HF's 3d finFET GN2 design is just waiting for a firm like AM to buy it and put it to work. Does AM have any provisional patents? HF does...

pure noob question here but if HF patent is so kul, why they selling it instead of producing?? i mean, not that previous HF chips missed their spec too..
