Spondoolies-Tech is currently working on two separate designs: a 28nm ASIC set to launch in early 2015, followed by fourth-generation chips manufactured using an unspecified FinFET node. Most cryptocurrency ASIC companies do not disclose their manufacturing partners and Spondoolies is no exception. Instead of describing the new chip as a 14nm or 16nm design, which would more or less identify the foundry, Corem prefers to use "advanced process" FinFET terminology.

...Corem indicated that Spondoolies has made a conscious decision to skip the 20nm node altogether.


oooooh that is an exciting morsel  Grin

and completely backs up what I said months ago about 20nm being a stepping stone.

Spondoolies-Tech's next-generation platform will not be suitable for home mining, however, as it will feature 10 hashing boards, each with its own PSU.
Whoa! 10 power supplies! Interested to see what this will look like...

one thing is for sure.. it's not going in my mum's garage!

Under the bed then? Wink

When do you guys usually got tracking for the shipment?

I got in e-mail from sales that my order will ship today but no tracking yet.

6 or more hours later

Great thanks!

Faster then Bitmain. (I usually had them in hand befor got the tracking. Sidenote: It was not problem for me)

The only thing why I ask because I usually go to the DHL or UPS depo for the stuff close after it passes cutoms. This run takes me 200km there and 200 more back. So if I got the tracking I can plan my next day or the day after.

i bet if you were to hold your breath, by the time you pass out the tracking info will be there  ;D

EDIT: or should that be 'by the time you come round'  :-\

sorry, sometimes i think i'm funny  :P

 ???

Edit:

Waiting for 22 machines with no tracking is not so funny...  ::)

i apologise if I made you feel more anxious, please let us know when the tracking comes through.
[/quote]
I got a promise that the machines will ship today, but order is still unfulfilled and the workday is over for them.

I hope it's just an administration mistake.

i do know that the core of the team work far longer hours than you might expect, including the person who will be processing the shipment and at this busy time, I can only speculate that it should be on-time... I think DHL work around the clock too so if they have a batch of orders ready to go out, someone will still be there to honour that promise to you, i'm sure.

I hope so.  Wink

As I followed the thread SP usually do what promised.

Fingers crossed.  Grin

I was specifically referring to barabara, who in the emails where i asked for a discount neglected to mention any sale and in fact advised me to buy asap...

would it not THEN have been logical to mention there is a sale starting imminently...?

OK, so will you (SPT) honor the 100USD discount seeing as my order is still    'pending & unfulfilled'   $940.00   ?

Yes, we will honor the $100. Please e-mail me at [email protected].  Barbara
Barbara, I have a support ticket open with you. Why are you not replying to my emails, it has been 5 days now since your last and only reply advising me to try the SP20 firmware on my SP10?
Barbara, still waiting for a reply for my support ticket. Can i please get some assistance, going on week 3 now?

Write to my skype (don't just add contact, write a message - I don't see people who just add contact for some reason).

This points to a March/April timeframe.

smart move   by not tossing a ton of money at unproven 14-16nm asics'  

bitfury did this with 55nm  they got very good numbers by redefining design and underclocking/undervoltage of the chips.

I have found in running mining gear underclock/undervolt often rules for profit.

I am still well under .6 watts with the  sp20  about .55-.57 a gh with underclock .  really helps my higher power costs.

and all that effort that you put into finding the optimal settings is very much appreciated, i've basically mimicked your settings with my own.

It is probably too early to downclock SP30 (it will be more urgent at 80 bil difficulty), but did anybody try?
Since my machines are at the hosting sites, I was somewhat limited to try various settings.
However, is there a table from SPT that is sort of a guideline or some other reference?
Thanks

The most basic and easier way to do it is to limit the PSU to whatever you wish your miner to consume.

Is this really the best way to go? Specifications call for variations of the ASIC voltage (within 0.63-0.8V) if I remember correctly.

I used to lower the voltage in order to get to the desired W/GH, but jtoomim tipped me that each chip is different and limiting their voltage isn't the best way to do it. By limiting the PSU each chip can run at it's optimal voltage.

OK, sounds interesting. What was the approximate PSU limit to get to 0.55W/Gh for SP30? I have seen this number (0.55/Gh) being mentioned here somewhere.

I got it with an evga 1300 g2    right now I am getting 730 watts and 1324 gh.    but this was with the sp20  

Temp Front / Back T,B
33 °C / 69,65 °C
Fan Speed
40
Start Voltage
0.655 / 0.655 / 0.633 / 0.633
Max Voltage
0.664
Max Watts
180 / 180 / 180 / 180


don't do that fan setting  try 60 and in a few hours check your temps

Thanks, Phil. I wonder if SP30 settings would be the same or different. The setup file for SP30 does not mention underclocking, only overclocking.

It's actually a SP30 and a SP10 Smiley .. with the SP10 I have no issues. The SP30 was funny and unstable until I last upgraded the firmware to 2.5.6. After a week, this one PSU died ..
