Wouldn't Samsung then be an alternate supplier?
i guess you're pretty much trapped with the supplier once the masks are done...

TSMC had probably 0% yield in their 16nm fab (fab 14) after the earthquake early February this year:

Manufacturing 16nm chips is one of the most complex processes one can think of. It will take some time to recalibrate the production line again and after that they will serve tier 1 customers like Apple first.
Yikes! Ow ow ow ow owhttp://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1328964

Good catch on that. No idea how I missed it as EETimes is one of my feeds.

Yeah, I haven't heard any news in a while. I assume chips will be available, and I'll do everything I can with 'em. A stick would be nice, but a ~400W scale miner would be nice too. When I have news it'll be made known, but right now I have no news.
thank you for the info, sidehack!

I just hope it's real and we get some very interesting sidehack sticks with these chips while the big miners containing these chips skyrocket in price.
I would love to have some sticks made with these chips, I hope they do release them to the public then.sidehack who? bitfury talked to him?
punin promised to make some chips available for him. guess they have bigger troubles atm

so where are the chips? TSMC is broken?

Yeah, remember that time Bitmain got some back-door information on a competition's delays and raised the price of the S5 about 30% because they knew they could get away with it?
That was a great time to buy an S5...
At least, we have another 15 days with flat diff...

Very unprofessional for all these companies to make claims they can't keep. Or at least post saying "we had technical difficulties and will release our miners next month".
That information is worth millions to competitors though, so they'd rightly rather hurt our feelings than do that.

Exiting times, again!
I wonder if that was a typo or a subliminal way to suggest that we sell. I think that was a GAW reference,he was a notorious misspeller

Their version of "shortly" is a bit too long isn't it?
my lot of 5 s1s just showed up and ready to be converted to the new Sidehack miner. Look forward to seeing the progress and eventual for sale thread.
