Any news on this S5 yet? Being waiting so long..
Interesting. Of late, AM have struggled to keep up with efficiency of other h/w. Do you think we can expect something competitive or will someone else trump them to w/GH?
Personally, I'll be surprised if AM is ever really relevant again. They had the industry by the balls and managed to screw it up over and over. Quote
I'm hedging my bets, i find all this quite exciting, as we approach a heavy level of difficulty which could, in essence render everything currently hashing, unprofitable. Interesting times.
Well KnC thinks they'll hit 0.07W/GH in 2015. Who knows if that'll ever come to light, but that would be the end of the line right there. 
so, end of january, beginning feb for new Am rigs?
Details aren't too clear. My understanding is that they went in on an MPW to validate the design, so first chips expected in Dec. I would guess we might start seeing new AM (ASICMiner) HW sometime in Mar '15.

They might use 16nm chip for S5 and push down the watt per gh/s down to like 0.2.
doubt anyone is that far with 14nm in relation to bitcoin mining atm.
Allthough.. if anyone could be.. it would be bitmain or friedcat i would guess..
The ASICMiner BE200 is 40nm. Friedcat is very far away from 14nm. They'd be lucky to have a 28nm chip before the middle of 2015.
Well then FC must have horseshoes up his ass, because rumour has it that AM taped out 28nm in Sept.

I'm assuming by "new Am rigs" you mean the Antminer S5?
no.

I actually prefer them to do S5 as cloud mining, shipment is too costly. Big determine factor for ROI.
s1 and s2 are using bm1380 55nm
s3, s4 and c1 are using bm1382 28nm
....
AM can go to other nodes like 32nm, 28nm or even 22nm. going down in the proces fabrication is much easyer then making a brand new chip from scratch.

bama dropout and even i figured out how to mine 
i actually swam there over a decade ago... i live 30 minutes from the swamp now. i'm not saying our fanbase isn't rabid enough, but i think we could support our own crypto. who's down to mine bamacoin with their s5's with me lol

Might like the name, "TideCoin" more.

I thought I was the only one.
LOL

I said this in another thread so it's worth repeating. Business timelines can change, and I have no more info than you on when the S5 will be released, but the Antminer ad in yBitcoin is an official ad. We only print ads with the direct consent and participation of our advertising partners. Thanks for reading the magazine and please share it!
Kind regards,

who said we read the magazine? naaaaah, we just followed the links to the advertisement page
Haha just when I'm starting to get nostalgic over BTF. Well, just so you guys know what we do- we're the world's leading educational bitcoin publication. Our awesome partners (like Bitmain) enable us to give the magazines away for free all over the world- in turn raising awareness and hopefully making your rigs pay out some extra dollars. This year we've been able to print almost 300,000 free magazines reaching an estimated 1-1.3 million potential new bitcoin users. If there is someone in your personal network on the edge or interested about using bitcoin, get them a free magazine shipped right to their door (we even pay shipping within the USA)!
ROLL TIDE, David!
Thank you for your contribution to bitcoin! Didn't realize we were close to one another until now. I live in Birmingham.
I'll have to check out the magazine in more detail.
Have a great day!

ROLL TIDE!! Proud University of Alabama alum here. There's actally a pretty big bitcoin scene in Tuscaloosa, a few of us got a bunch of students and professors invested in the $10 to $100 range so they have alot of happy supporters and college kids with too much btc for their own good. Actually met my girlfriend of the pat 3 years there and she's now working at BitPay.. bitcoin life.. right?
Come visit us in Huntsville when you get a chance, we're actually relocating to Nashville around the start of the year so don't wait too long!
Best,

if intel doesn't have a lot of 14nm cpu on the market...22nm looks more realistic
