Uhm, yeah, sorry, 1 week is probably not possible.
But PM Swede, he'll arrange it and you'll probably have chips in two weeks.
The Avalon chips were nothing but a bad investment, that is all you can call them. ActM, and thus their shareholders, have payed more money on them than they will get out of them.
Calling getting the Avalons a "stepping stone" is really kind of delusional. All that should be important is the development of their own ASICs.
All this business with creating Avalon clones is just wasted time and effort that could go towards getting their real business going.
And you say it like they're doing that on the side "while the 28nm chips are manufactured"... Dude. They are not being manufactured. Have they even started to develop them, at all? I'm seriously asking, because all I could understand was that eASIC is supposed to eventually start developing them, but nothing like that seems to even have started. If I'm wrong, please correct me with some evidence (and with evidence I mean just a post where they say they have started with it, not really hard evidence).
