Correct.
aha, thanks, silly me

This is, again, surreal. There's the anticipated (again removed) update and everyone's like "Yeah... Looks good. This is it." Even Havelock is rather quiet.

Havelock will be out for a wile , untill DDoS'ers will get their cheap shares. Popcorn and waiting for the next update form Grilled Cat.

Code:
The typical hash power is ~12GH/s in rated mode.
looks ok to me !
but other specs are spanish village for me, maybe someone with required knowledge in chip design can confirm if 0.72V, 0.35J/GHash are met?
March 18, 2014, 04:26:07 AM
Maybe he is preparing a more detailed release.

Do we actually know the (probable) foundry AM is using for gen 3 or has been using for gen 1?
According to this [1] document, gen1 was produced by a fab in Shanghai, China.
And gen3 is produced by TSMC [2].

The ASICMINER winter has been a long one... really looking forward to spring...
Aren't we all? Here's hoping our favorite grilled feline will finally deliver. March 17, 2014, 05:48:14 PM

why're you asking? this should be internal company info and know&howI'm simply interested, nothing more. Really.
Getting to know more about our favourite mining company while we're in the waiting room. There are companies where the respective foundry is known, IIRC. For example KNC or Avalon, isn't it?

avalon is launching their gen 3 chip in about 1.5 days.
40nm, 7GH/s per chip, 5Watts, 0.775Watts per Gh/s

How can we compare these? How to compare J/Gh with W/Gh, anyone? thanks
ASICminer : 40nm, 12.8GH/s per chip, 0.72V, 0.35J/GHash
AVALON : 40nm, 7GH/s per chip, 5Watts, 0.775Watts per Gh/s

Joules to watts calculation formula
The power P in watts (W) is equal to the energy E in joules (J), divided by the time period t in seconds (s):
P(W) = E(J) / t(s) >>> watt = joule / second
DC volts to watts calculation formula
The power P in watts (W) is equal to the voltage V in volts (V), times the current I in amps (A):
P(W) = V(V) × I(A)
EDIT : ning, thank you ! so ASICminer *theoretical* specs are at least 2x better than AVALON offering. Lets see if Friedcat is able to deliver.
Because AM does not have final specs yet. That's why I asked the question. There have been a lot of theoretical performance numbers spouted by chip makers, but what counts is what the real world numbers are. Also, chips that are available sooner are "better" than undelivered chips...again that's the reason for the question.
