None of the above - possibly Altera Hardcopy.
So 65nm fpga conversion, about as efficient as a 180nm asic, but cheaper.
Power consumption multiple times as advertised.

Possible, but I still see 65nm as more likely given their competitive pricing. More likely they're just going to miss their power spec...again.

BFL suggests it's less than 90 nm, but greater than 14 nm. I've seen a lot of suggestions for 65 nm, but based on their power estimates, maybe it'll be a bit smaller than that?

65nm...no particular reason. Their estimated power consumption spec is pretty aggressive.
Not sure what ASICminer or Reclaimer will use but BTCFPGA is on 90nm and Avalon is on 110nm so it stands to reason that BFL will need a higher density process to meet their power specs.

What do you think their production process to be?
