Turn around is commonly closer to 60 days

There are no 60 days left this year. So much for December delivery.

Hello Forum,
We are proud to announce that we have now reached tape out for the GoldStrik1 ASIC. You can find more information in our press-release at: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/11/prweb11314884.htm and on http://cointerra.com

With the usual ~70 Day turn-around for Chips that puts you a little past mid January for your first silicone.

They're having breast implants done? Huh

the usual 70 day turn-around is for people who don't pay extra to the fab to expedite the process


Turn around is commonly closer to 60 days, and we are expediting the process in several different ways. Ever since mock tape out we have been streamlining every piece of the manufacturing process so that we can deliver at break neck speed as soon as we receive chips.

Break neck like KNC that ships out crap or break neck like BFL's two weeks tm?

KNC was shipping crap? LOL! I received my miner in the first week and was very pleased with the performance. So wtf are you talking about?!

BFL did, actually.  you could transfer the cost of an unshipped 60nm order into a monarch order

still, never buy anything from BFL though

they may consider their current offerings to be "next gen"

The actual job description mentions "Knowledge on latest technology node (FinFETs, 20nm, 16nm) is a plus".
Granted, thats not definitive, but common sense dictates this cant be for the current design. You wouldnt go through the process of hiring a new lead engineer at this late stage, that makes no sense whatsoever; With time this critical it could never yield a better result than continuing with the team you have. A qualified new lead engineer is not likely found and able to start working the next day, if you publish this job posting today, you probably wont have anyone working for you for another 3 months. So even if your entire team died in a plane crash, you would still rather contract a company that has a well oiled team in place, instead of hiring people and building your own.

Mind you, its entirely possible their schedule is slipping, but these job openings have nothing to do with it.

I thought this company had the most extensive industry connections of all the ASIC hardware manufacturers, though? That's definitely what they're major selling point was originally. In most other ways, what they presented was little different to the other players.

I believe that would be extremely illegal

how long (and lost opportunity in this fast space) would it be to take them through legal action??

and without any product how are they paying for lawyers to even take the case?

you think justice is free?

Maybe there was some trouble in paradise? Wink

With respect to the initially announced close cooperation with OpenSilicon it makes absolutely no sense to hire these kind of engineers, neither for the development/implementation of the actual gen nor the next gen. They are not required for the pure system competence and these kind of tasks (especially the physical implementation) should be outsourced to a partner with an experienced implementation team for which “after tape-out is before tape-out”.

Maybe OpenSilicon just realized how high the Cointerra margins finally could be, tried to renegotiate and got too greedy? Took the design as hostage and said no tape-out before we agree on higher royalties! Wink

Sorry, probably just some funny FUD!

Its worth restating Cointerra uses Open-silicon as chip designer. The CEO of open silicon is also on the board of cointerra, and likely an investor. Open silicon is not a small company, and should have plenty of engineers to chose from if for some reason cointerra wasnt happy with the team they got assigned.
