Yeah for some reason I was thinking Spartan 6, was half asleep.

As far as the Virtex-7 goes, and the bandwith that chip is capable of it can produce roughly ~1GH/s to maybe 3GH/s. It's a very beefy chip, and also very expensive. I'm talking $4000 a chip.

The Stratix 5 I'm not quite sure. I don't see any numbers as far as chip bandwidth goes, but it's outrageously expensive per chip as well.

So I don't know how low of a price you're trying to negotiate, or where from. I'm curious as to why you would consider the investment if you aren't an Engineer or don't have one?

I'm not an engineer and I don't have any. No problem, we are human and we have to make mistakes.
Yeah Virtex-7 is a good one. And Kintex-7? It could be possible the 7K410T series could make about 750mhash/s?
Thanks again.

Well my point is that you not an Engineer nor do you have one, and yet you're thinking about investing thousands of dollars on a product you have no idea how to design? The Virtex-7 and Stratix-5 are very expensive chips, and the only way you can afford them per chip is to by them tens of thousands at a time. Assuming you have a design in the first place.

Even without being an Engineer you should realize the pricepoint of what you want to do is very very high.

If I only could know the hashrate of Stratix-V A7 or D5 I could write more details about my project.

Well, depends on how skilled your engineer is. Please compare the range of the  bitstreams for teh spartan6 which  spans 200 MHash/s to ?300? MHash/s.

lame.duck is right, it all depends.

On the low end at least 1800 MH/s, on the high end you won't know until someone does it.


I agree too, but first I have to test and see the results.

And please people don't send me PM regarding chip offers, because I have serious suppliers and I don't want waste money in untrustable persons Grin

The conclusion is that Stratix-5 is little bit faster but more power usage.
I think I will wait to test the chip and post the results. If such good, I will move the project forward.
Thanks to all who are helping me.
Wish me good luck Smiley

150-300MH/s only?? I'm not talking about Spartan-6....

I'm still alone, I only have an idea, no team, no engineer....

at the end of the day is always how many hash rate per chip and at what price is the chip that counts...

Avalon Asic run at 282mh/s and only cost $8, so let say with 6 chip/ 1692mh/s is only --- $48, would you be able to beat this price

For those who are developing anything at all, they have better chances learning how to develop FPGA dev boards if they don't have a few years of Engineering or tinkering under their belt. While those Avalon chips are a steal, and I might buy a few soon, I'd like to get documentation about them, and what their requirements are before I go and build an ASIC rig for myself.

Not too many people have a deep understanding of the Avalon chips, so for most people it's not a good idea to buy them up before they know what to do with them.


If I only could know the hashrate of Stratix-V A7 or D5 I could write more details about my project.

I would assume between 150-300MH/s per chip. The hashrate depends on a number of things. Firstly it depends on the clock rate you set the FPGA at, and secondly it depends on the bitstream you program into the FPGA.

Do you have experience with FPGA's at all?

you can order a dev kit, but they cost some money

Yeah, okay. But I can't answer If I don't have the primary answer: does anybody know the hashrate of Stratix V A7 or D5?
So with this information I could answer more....

I'm still negotiating about the price, but now I need information about Stratix V A7 or D5 hasrate and power usage. If anyone has any information It would be great.
Those are only a pre development questions.

Virtex-7 I read that has potential of 1600mhash/s, but I don't know the hashrate of Stratix-5.

I could get both chips for low price.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How low are you talking per-chip that you can get?

Had the same idea a while ago, did some research, but fpga does not intrest me that much anymore.

The world is an expensive place, saying thanks is enough for me.
