I spoke to kncminer yesterday. The chips are in the final stages of production in taiwan. soon as they are ready they will be flown over in the next couple of weeks ready for production end of September. This month cannot go fast enough for me. ..

Come on it is just two weeks...
People paid for jupiters about 100 bitcoins with vat, when network speed was 180TH/s, now 1PH

They will get back around 50% btc in next few months

After knc 1 batch, network will achieve 4PH or more, so people from the end of october will get back 30% or less.

November batch 2 pricing is not profitable at all.

If they sell chips alone only, it could be done...

It is nice to see Bfl Inaba there

If chips will be ready at next couple of weeks, so 27 sept + 5 days transport/customs + few days production + few days shipping/customs to customer it gives half october...

No they didn't they paid for a product priced in dollars

No they didn't they paid for a product priced in dollars, and most of the promised network for this period hasn't made it online.

To be honest that doesnt sound like september delivery to me.

the $17 million that HashFast and Cointerra have (supposedly) made in pre-orders isn't nothing. Intel makes lots of chips, not just desktop CPUs but lots of ASICs as well.

Back when SSDs were starting to get popular Intel came out with their own, and it performed way better then anything else on the market - not because the flash memory was any better, but because the ASIC they used to interface the flash to SATA was so much better. Other drives were fast for the most part, but would randomly lag under typical desktop usage (where tons of little files, like dlls and registry keys need to be read and written too constantly)

Turns out, Intel looked at the available controllers, decided they all sucked, and just made their own. Now that SSD controllers are a lot better, Intel doesn't make them any more.

Of course, I doubt that little asic was made at their smallest process node. And from what I understand development costs go up significantly the smaller you go.  However my guess is that for Intel those costs might not be as high, since they'll likely have all the software, test equipment, and so on available right away.

And, of course, they have their own fabs. Which means that, not only do they not need to deal with third party companies to interface with the fabs, as most bitcoin ASIC people have had to do, access to things like spots on multi-project wafers should be easy to get, even on short notice. 

It would depend on what kind of resources they want to spend on it - but given the time sensitive nature Intel could do things like kick existing slots off of wafer runs to get test chips and so on.
