If they use a single FPGA, has anyone looked at the FPGA chips on the market that could perform so high?
It is apparently 2 chips on this board. We have had some light discussions, I think more so in the older thread about what current fpga chips are capable. The few in the 45nm series that can manage 400MHs+ run anywhere from $750 to $1250 per chip.
I made some fail effort to identify the chips from the pics available. Closest thing I could find in size and materials was I believe the Altera FPGAs. But the picks I found had what appear to be rounder corners than the BFL ones. I would think some of the other guys around here have seen enough of these they could indent it from just this pick. We know roughly the chip size, which I can't recall off hand. I deleted my 'research' folder on all of it when I caught myself wasting too much time on something that really did not matter. It may have been 25mmx25mm though?
hmm, looking again since you asked. it's 780pin. the pcb suggest it is 1.1v. size suggest 65nm. which would be 29x29mm.

My best, uneducated guess is; http://components.arrow.com/part/detail/46649448S9901954N7401
will update if I can narrow it down further.
Nice research.
The release of this little baby should be interesting. I understand people being sceptical but hey, welcome to the free market. If they are trying to make a business out of this, why do people expect them to release all the info on everything? No one seems to understand R&D when it comes to business.Come on trolls, If you don't believe him, or your jealous(whatever the reason) can we just wait till beginning of Fed, they should be released by then. If they don't, we can all flip our tables.
How about we try to be civil, Yes?
