And so it begins! It will be interesting to see the formfactor devices take as GH / chip [at these speeds] is much lower than BE200 which was ~7GH. Power per chip is also down so the hashing and power density of BE300 will be quite significantly lower. This is of course that AM doesn't throw out W/GH for $/GH.

After the thorough testing of single chip boards, we are going to test boards with chained chips.
Do you have enough test units to send one so I can try to have BFGMiner support at time of production shipping?How about specs?
Yes! Please provide samples to Luke-Jr and ckolivas so BFGMiner and CGMiner are supported at launch.

I was hoping they were gonna stick with pin-compatibility with BE200 chips like was mentioned when they open-sourced stuff earlier this year.
Additionally, a small suggestion for strung miners - fuse the power rails per bank. If something fails short and parts start popping off, it'll blow the fuse instead of catching the board on fire and then you're down a bit of capacity but still operating.

^^^ single chip board the man
Or at least drop a publicly available datasheet with pinout and data protocol....plz

I hope that AM sticks to just selling the chips and not making miners again. Amazing how bad the Prisma experience was...

Looking forward to seeing what comes of these.

Finally! This is great . . .

Interested in designing a miner board with these
Any info for samples?

Nice job. Waitng for prototype of final miner. Hoping you will show it faster then Bitamin and Spoondolies.

I believe i cat fry

Great chips, 0.3 W/GH. Looking forward final result

nice chips, get frying them mr cat.

Any date estimates for miners with these chips?
FC earlier stated that mass production of the BE300 chips will be finished in Feb 2015. Given that everything seems to be well on track (actually a week ahead of schedule!) we might see miners in April 2015, or even as early as March 2015!
FC, very good news! It's great to see some pictures of the board and the testing, as well. It makes me feel being "more part of the whole thing"
Keep us posted on further results, please!

Only one question. Samples?
You didn't provide any previously. That ended with two designs only, one foulty as hell. Maybe this time?
We will see if we can allocate some from the sample batch. The problem with MPW is that we only gotYou didn't provide any previously. That ended with two designs only, one foulty as hell. Maybe this time?
100 chips in hand and we need at least a large part of them for chip-wise variance testing.
I'm not saying that you should provide samples now (but it would be great)
Only one question. Samples?
beggars everywhere 
i don't want a sample, i just want to see if they make specs.fair enough, apologies for my presumptions.

So what are the chances of the be200 users getting compensation and good boards before the be300 comes out?

i'd speculate, spring 2015.
