The 28nm KnC is no more power efficient than a bunch of 55nm BitFuries.
It was about 25-30% better $ per hash though.

I don't think a 20nm KnC will be any more efficient than a 28nm by Bitfury or Black Arrow

I have a Neptune preorder but not only because it's 20nm.  KNC did a great job with their 28nm series and I believe that they will go way beyond just the die shrink from 28nm to 20nm for Gen 2.  I think they've learned a lot from Gen 1 and will make further improvements.  But only time will tell, I guess.

20nm uses less power, and you can shove more transistors in the same area.  Thus, they are faster...

google is your friend...

can someone help me with the new miners coming out, i am looking at the new neptune, and was wondering if the change in the size is a big difference from 28 to 20nm


Neptune is our first 20nm product and will be shipping in Q1/Q2 of 2014.
The stats and performance that we can release today are
Minimum 3000GH/s of hashing speed that 3TH Over 5 times the speed of our first Jupiter release
   (we reserve the right to increase this as we get closer to shipment)
A 30% reduction in watts per GH
Based on the existing Jupiter design (See photo, however this may change as development progresses)
Shipment begins in Q1/Q2 of 2014
Bitcoins first ever 20nm miner brought to you form the company who shipped the first 28nm bitcoin miner
Limited batch of 1200 units,
Payment for this product is bitcoins and bank transfer only.
All refunds will be refunded in dollars and you can refund up to shipment
$ 12,995.00

i can scrape together 13k but want to make sure, it will last more then a few month to try and make a profit, if the bitcoin stays close to its current value

thanks for any help
