So a followup: Did any of them come? Did they get sold? Enquiring minds want to know :-)

Hi - they were delivered today. I guess better late than never. I am starting a new auction for them as it seems everyone was too hesitant to purchase anything from BFL that was not already in hand. Cheers!

whats the clock/hashrate of each chip

Specifications:

    Technology: Global Foundries advanced 65nm technology (IBM core)
    Die size: 7.5 x 7.5 mm
    Substrate package: 10 x 10 mm
    Package type: Standard BGA 144
    Design type: 100% Hand routed for performance density
    Power consumption: 3.2 Watt per GH/s
    Performance: 4 GH/s
    Performance design: 16 engines @ 250mhz nominal (294mhz max)

Advantages of Butterfly Labs chips:

    1/2 the power usage per GH as the closest competitor
    1/10th the silicon area per GH as the closest competitor (very high performance density)
    Proven design currently operating in the field and ready to go
    Unlike some QFN packages which require underside heat sinks, you can use off the shelf heat sinks due to the FCBGA package. No need to design and manufacture heat sinks!

Terms of purchase:

    Delivery:  100 days
    Payment:  50% deposit on order and 50% upon delivery
    Cancellation:  All sales are final and deposits will not be returned if final payment is not made prior to delivery.
    Minimum purchase:  100 chips

Considerations:

    Chip grades:  Chips come in four grades of performance.  Chips are sold in mixed grade lots.  A grade has 16 engines, B grade has 15 engines, C grade has 14 engines and D grade has no less than 12 engines.  All chips run at a minimum of 250 mhz.  Higher grade chips will run up to 294mhz.  The percentage distribution in each lot is 60% Grade A, 20% Grade B, 15% Grade C and 5% Grade D.

If you would like to purchase the chips at the Buy It Now price you can message me and I will update the thread accordingly. In order to Buy It Now, payment must be made asap. For auction winners, payment must be received within 24 hours of the completion of the auction or your bid is forfeit.
