Title: Could KNC Neptune be 5 TH/s Post by: AmericanBit on January 23, 2014, 09:20:03 AM Obviously the the Saturn and Jupiter doubled in hashrate than what originally advertised. Is it technically possible for the Neptune to nearly double in hashing as well upon release?

Of course, if 20nm chips are going to be as good as 28nm, there's a small chance for batch 2 to get close to 5Th. At that time, it won't already matter. But there's no chip yet, right? I would say pre-batch Netunes won't go higher than 3-3.5 Gh/s . Title: Re: Could KNC Neptune be 5 TH/s Post by: h3rlihy on January 23, 2014, 04:41:11 PM 5 TH seems a bit insane to me. I personally doubt they would be looking to overclock that high.. maybe if submerged in a tank of liquid nitrogen (yeah I'm kidding, that would probably explode or something)
An interesting thought though. I would say maybe 4-4.5TH max for batch 2 perhaps. |
