In a nutshell or laymen terms. It's the GH/s war. The 3 big ones (BFL, bASIC, NgZhang) are all competing with each other.
they compete, we win
Well, No, Actually its all relative IMO, The only people that will win are the first to receive.

Ah ok on the 28th September.
I was hoping he had made that quote before 'Avalon' spec's were announced.

Nope. Though I am not sure how much the AValon specs influenced these decisions since there is only an initial run of 300 and the 2nd mass run will be $2k

Tom mentioned plans to have 2 designs (2nd one with double the amount of chips).
Do you have a link to that quote? Just that it wasn't on his website last week.

Tom mentioned plans to have 2 designs (2nd one with double the amount of chips). Thats why there are now 2 bASICs once with 27gh/s and another with 54gh/s. These are minimum values and based on conservative theoretical estimates not actual prototypes so there is still a possibility that these values could go up.
BFL may be on actual prototype specs (but they haven't confirmed this) merely said that the "plan all along was to update the firmware to allow for increased hashrate" should a price war or competition get intense.

It seems as soon as cablepair announced his bASIC product, BFL started shifting gears.
Then we get the bASIC announcement that his devices can do 54 GH/s instead of the original 27.
Now Tom stated in his initial announcement he was going to be very conservative, so his announcement of double makes sense in that light.
BFL comes out and doubles all their product estimates.
Okay, so this is great for the network, but does anyone know the technical aspects of this and how this is really working?
Are we talking more chips or just underestimating chip hash rates ?
Is this the beginning of the price war everyone discussed earlier ?
Really curious on this.
