FPGA designs cannot be easily converted to asics. Altera Hardcopy is the same device as their FPGAs with just a metal layer instead of the routing fabric.
Then there are standard cell asics which can be produced using pre-manufactured masks.
Then there are custom asics which work at the bare silicon level.
Even if they use Hardcopy my prediction would be accurate in that case, it wouldn't be a custom asic. (or even standard cell asic)
And I strongly doubt that what to would be released (if any at all) lives up to the specs.
Already made my point, just repeating the same issues.
Yes they could still claim anything they want, people will find out eventually like with the singles.

You are forgetting bfl's secret sauce. Turning an altera hardcopy into a full custom asic is easy for them. You just need a bit of sandpaper and no one will be the wiser.
There I some quote about it in a book I have that in order to prove it we must first plant a tree on the moon. (Or something like it)
I know mathematicians have a strange humor.

What will you bump with if they turn out to be accurate to the pre-released specs?
That I have proven the Riemann Hypothesis.
That's not full custom asic, it's cell "asic" and I even doubt they even get to that level.

FTFY ;p
My point being: BFL the way it is presented to us certainly hasn't got the resources and did not have the funds to develop custom chips.
FTFY ;p
fool me once.....

Don't you guys remember that the Singles were claimed to contain custom hardware?
It will either turn out to be an exaggerated claim or even a scam.
inb4 BFL fanboy shitstorm.
anyway just posting that so I can bump it next year with "I told you so."
