lulz reality please - oh wait - don't worry ...
I'm just relaying what the guy told me. I have no personal knowledge of Intel's inner workings.

lulz reality please - oh wait - don't worry ...
Wait so.. conservative estimate... then planned they to update firmware for faster speeds to be competitive? Doesn't this seem a little bit odd (or even underhanded) to anyone else?
You don't think Intel, AMD, nVidia, etc. do the exact same thing? I talked to a guy a few years back who used to work for Intel, and he said they do exactly this. They stage incremental performance boosts to always have sales. In reality, they have the potential to make a CPU that would blow everything on the market today out of the water, but then they'd have nothing new to sell for years!

Actually I'm not exactly sure how a firmware change can gain 50% performance unless the one they were going to release simply ran it at 66% of maximum clock reliable speed ...A firmware update could have unlocked certain previously unused parts of the chip. Just like a BIOS tweak can unlock the 4th core of certain Phenom processors sold as 3-core.

You betcha,if I were you I'd never order a product from them.That'll teach em
i have a similiar cable for my backup hard drive.
I have one that plugs into the back of itself (pass-thru style) so I can use it with 1 or 2 ports as needed without leaving part of it dangling around.-- Smoov

I had NO idea they made something like this..............Thanks for the info!!!!!

PS3 anyone?

No to USB3 and No wall adapter.
They were supposed to ship in September, but they pushed that back to October / November.. so yeah.
I've never heard them say September. All I've ever heard was October, then October/November, and now beginning of November. Quote
Our current power consumption targets for our first generation ASIC products are approximately 1 GH per watt
Interesting!
Indeed
20Amp Plugs here we come!
Hmm so that seems to says they only worked out the expected figures today ... they must be behind in the schedule?
Uh, well yeah, It's pretty well know they are behind schedule a little. They were supposed to ship in September, but they pushed that back to October / November.. so yeah. But, If they ship in Oct. Nov. I really don't mind since I am getting more hash power in my Single

You may notice that these performance figures exceed that of our previously published specification by approximately 50%. Our intention was to eventually over deliver while also being conservative during development. We had planned to reserve this performance increase for a future firmware update and was one method we planned to use to protect our customers in the event of a price war. However, due to the maturity of our development and competition in the market, we felt it was time to clarify what customers will actually receive both in speed and particularly in power consumption so they can properly evaluate their options and make good decisions. We hope it's now easier to understand the closed lip approach of our ASIC line product development.

Where did they post these new numbers?

Follow the link silly.
haha.. Thanks. I'm still a little sleepy and a bit drunk.
