most of the guys (knc, hashfast, cointerra etc) were taping out their 28nm with both tsmc and gf and receiving silicon back some 2 months later (thats after paying ridiculously high 'expedite fees'. if you dont pay the expedite expect 3 months) cointerra did it last time in 7 weeks. it'll be longer than 28nm for 16nm cos its so new... but not much longer. so lets say - for arguments' sake they tape out in October... they would expect to see 1st silicon in early Jan (or late Dec if theyre really lucky), and volume production later in Q1 onwards.
How can they tapeout now when 16nm production is supposed to begin in q1 2015?
20nm production was said to begin in q1 2014 and we all know how that turned out for KNC.
I doubt they will also they cant even get 20nm right.
I just dont like how Gaw keeps changing prices everyday for there products $50,25,16
I noticed that now when I am on the miners tab on zen portal the "prime hashlet" is no longer displayed there. But it's still displayed on gawminers web page. Seems strange, maybe they are planning to roll out another secret update?
