The LQFP44 package is 10x10mm actually. Your comparison seems ok then. Non-standard warning label on the cigarette pack though
.
Yes, I assumed it would be roughly 10x10 mm. A cigarette pack should have a length of 86 mm. I'm sure it's not 100 % accurate, but it was only intended to provide
some comparison anyway.
well the text was pixellated simply because it's high resolution photo, then non vector labcoin logo added in graphics manipulation program..when did they change size to 10x10 from 6.5 x 6.5- - can you post the link where it says that?
I thought they blew up and printed out the shitty low res logo on paper and laid the chips on that. Then took the photo.
Pretty sure that this is the low-tech answer, everyone
yes looks like u right. shame fabrizio cant afford photoshop still using GIMP
what are you guys predictions on the specifications? bearing in mind other teams who received chips some time ago, and those that are due to receive very shortly have squeezed about 3.5% to 9% of what labcoins devs have aimed for on same process node and highest demonstrated performance using 5 year newer technology, full custom, hand routed design, 756 2xsha256 cores realisticall achieve more like 30%-60% of what labcoin grp claim? simulation is not reality
anybody has heard of the term "thermal resistance" in context of chip packaging?
I like this answers from core dev
How can you fit 16 cores on 6.5x6.5 ? How many cores on average per chip, what is your assumption The cores we have fit are not classical "unrolled cores",the cores as we mean them are the result of our engineering effort. i'll pass the questions i can't reply to the lead developer
How is it possible to create chips with a such much better performance than the competitors. You've arranged them to fit more on the same size? For that to be possible, not only each Labcoin core would have to be ~42% smaller [65/130*(6.52)/(7.12)] than each BFL core but also the Labcoin chip would magically operate at a higher frequency (300MHz vs 250MHz) while keeping the same power draw... rolled cores instead of unrolled, sea-of-hashers approach. as in sea-of-gates. you can google this term and find out more about what it means technically
