Something about this chip gives me the feeling that all mining will eventually go the way of underclocked ASICS.  Its a lot less GH but its so much lower J/G.

That's typically what the second revision of a generation is - more chips and less extreme clock rates. It wouldn't make sense for the first product in a generation though as the W/GH is already sufficiently low, compared with the potential loss of GH to get down further.
