I've seen no evidence to suggest that they have such hardware on hand. I remember Friedcat saying that there was 200 TH/s incoming in 2 sets, with the first batch of the first 100 TH/s entering (or was it leaving) the fab. Since then, I've heard nothing about those chips. Do you have a link to an update about them or something?
The above, coupled with the fact that the hash rate hasn't increased, tells me that they don't in fact have such hardware. If they did have the hardware, why would they just leave it sitting there doing nothing but collecting dust?
well, we don't know what is going on with the hashrate. They may not be able to deploy more due to some issues, OR they may be mining under an "unknown" label/IP, OR they may be leasing it out. Without information from FC homself, we don't know the status for sure. There are many possible reasons why we can't see the "official" hash rate increasing.
I was under the impression that blades were shipping last week, but I don't the set of chips they came from.
And for the new blades, which should be shipping soon, they should be from the latest set of chips, I think.
