How much work can production be doing without a finalized ASIC or board? They'll probably not be using production workers for building the northern facility as they'd have to relocate for some time. So production is likely turning out Jupiters right now. The modules will be of the new VRM and not applicable to our Merc's, Saturns or Jupiters.
I think it's already been stated in one of those press articals that the 30 people working on the data centre are locals who have extensive experience in building data centres. Not KNC staff production engineers.
KNC only need to send one or two representatives to oversee the key milestones. I bet they will just remotely manage the site. Let's face it, it will have good fast network connections so video conferencing should be a doddle.
Additionally, I read a sales blurb for the site that says 10MW is just the beginning - they can expand that up to 150MW in 12 months if they want to. Not that they need to unless they rent the second building. 10MW is a good fit for a 5000m2 data centre with ambient cooling.
I also thought that KNC do not have any production facilities of their own. I am sure I read that they outsource all the component construction and final assembly as and when they need to. No workers to lay off when times are slack.
I would quite like a couple of upgrade modules to beef up my November Jupiter (new VRMs), but I just saw a couple of pigs fly past the window, so perhaps not.
... lol
