Cute and all, but apples to oranges.  Intel/AMD don't ask you to pre-order and pay for your CPU 6 months before its available and benchmarked.  Intel and AMD do send samples to review sites (Tom's hardware comes to mind) BEFORE general availability.

Really.. Good try though..

I want to know exactly how fast the new CPU's from Intel and AMD are that come out in a few months. Where can I find those numbers?

A variation of this question is asked, on average, every few hours.

Sure... a picture of one hashing.  I should have figured rather then bringing in people who want to see the same, it would bring on the trolls!

What has been provided thus far sucks.  What has been provided thus far is really nothing more then "we're working on it."

I've never seen so much cloudiness surrounding business as I have in this scenario.

Early adopter spots pop up for sale several times a day on the forums.

So you want more pictures?

If you wait any longer, you may as well not order at all because all of the big profits are going to pass you by...

While I think you're a blatent sock puppet, I'll answer your question anyways.

All 3 of the main competitors (BFL, bASIC, and Avalon) fit your criteria. They all have devices in the 60-80GH/s range (60, 72, 66). You want to talk about trust and proving themselves? All 3 have been very prominent in the BTC world already thru the selling of FPGA miners. All 3 have earned that trust with previous orders over the past six months to a year. All 3 have released claimed specs, some even released pictures, but no solid, 100% undeniable proof has been revealed yet. I suspect that that won't come until about 3-4 weeks AFTER the first one start shipping, based on the level of skepticism swarming these forums.

You don't need to wait 6 months (unless you think there will be no shipment for the next 5-6months), if they ship anything, as soon as people get their machines there will be a flood of pictures and info and showing off. A week at most to ensure no one is horridly burned to death or hit by shrapnel, and you can place orders fairly happily. You've already missed the early adopter boat anyway (pre-orders filled).

There should be no reason to have to wait that long!   Though your right - that would definitely be the safest route.

But in 6 months the diff will probably be like 45m lol

Wait 6 months (mid-2013), and you will have a lot of proof before commencing with your purchase

This is coming from a guy that thinks ASIC is coming fairly confidently.  This is coming from a guy that really doesn't favor any company at the moment though from some reading some are making themselves out to be hard to find the confidence to place an order with.  But most of all, this is coming from a potential customer.  I really like BTC and I really would like to see it succeed.  I will be buying an ASIC, and I would eventually like to find other ways to help push the BTC economy forward.  That said - here is my question.

Why can not one single company give us something real and concrete to work with?  If a company could do that, they will for sure have my order.  I'm looking for which ever device ends up in the 60-80 gh/s range.  Possibly two of them - we shall see.

I'm not talking about talk.  I'm not saying just showing me a pretty picture.  Provide me, provide all of us (who have ordered, or have not yet quite ordered) a reason to trust that your going to deliver on our money.

Trust is earned.  Right now every single company who is producing an ASIC device is asking for our trust.  I dont give trust out - you earn it.  Fairly sure I speak for most people with that.

Dont get me wrong - I want to believe.  But when your talking about $1-3,000 USD - I need a little more then anyone is currently providing.  Which is virtually nothing, unless I'm really missing something.

Provide it - and they will come.  (Customers, followed with orders)
