Consider it this way: the current MMQ has 4 chips, and pulls 40W. Even at 10W/each, they have a heatsink with a built in fan for every chip. Lowering the thermal output by 25%, but then sharing one larger fan between 4 heatsinks, would be about the same.
Thats true, I guess I was comparing it to the 5watt that the rpi uses. Although the probably would not be used in a situation where it would be maxed out for extended periods of time like an ASIC will.I haven't publicly laughed at the amateurishness of the 'renderings' yet, so...
BWAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAAHHAHAH!
Oh that's precious.
+1 BWAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAAHHAHAH!
Oh that's precious.
Quoting that in case you're wrong later.
7w@16 chips = 112w. If the rest of the circuitry and perty perty blinky things consume 8w or less that would put bASIC01 within it's stated power consumption envelope. I can definitely live with 72Gh@120w, particularly if it ships in January.I'm glad you can,I can't.But I may have too,If BFL dosen't deliver or screws the pooch like they did with the FPGA power consumption.
I have a bad feeling they underestimated & won't say a thing until the last minute,like this chip delivery crap
I was in on the BFL Single orders,but late enough to not feel the late shipping prob.This ASIC thing is almost the exact same scenario of the FPGA fiasco,go figure
