Topic: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" - page 22. (Read 108494 times)
Yeah Thailand, around 2011, flooding sorely jacked up hard drive prices. I was working in a computer repair shop at the time, and kept having to explain to customers why stuff cost too much.
unless they pulled a fast one on us again !!!
I'm willing to bet it was the earthquake .
I renumber one time a few years back were earthquake or floods in one other place in the world caused prices for months on memory and HD's for PC's to shoot thu the roof till they got back on track .
so that might just be why . we may not see a thing for 2 or 3 month now
. or i like to think that's the real reason .

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
