Can you sell the sample chip in small batch? We have factory in Shenzhen, have numerous customers and we are keen to arrange early access so that we can lockdown our reference design.
We are considering Avalon next Gen but we really would like to see your PCB design much earlier.
Thanks

Declaration: Before physical chips are out and fully tested, all specs/dates/data are for reference only and subject to change.
Although with unexpected obstacles, timing rearrangements and delays, our chips are still on track of delivery in March. This thread for releasing information of chips to public, with the intention of getting enough (direct) customers or (indirect) resellers aware before actual chips are produced.
The information will be updated to be more and more accurate, as we are updated with our fab, engineers, as well as the mining market.
Specification
Process node: 40nm
Package type: QFN64 8mmx8mm (with another option of QFN64 7mmx7mm possible)
I/O: Standard SPI protocol with clk, in, out and cs.
Rated Hashrate: 12.8GHash/s per chip, with a wide range of overclock/downclock options
Rated Voltage: 0.72V, recommended voltage range is 0.55V-1V
Power Consumption: 0.2J/GHash low voltage, 0.35J/GHash rated voltage
What to expect with the chips
Datasheets and reference PCB design are going to be released as soon as they are ready.
Chips will be available for ordering once the functionality and yield rate are confirmed with testing on actual chips.
There will be three modes of orders: Immediate delivery, 2-month delivery and 3-month delivery, with the price getting lower one by one. For 2-month and 3-month delivery, premium + balance payment may be supported to enhance liquidity and enable larger orders.
Both USD and Bitcoin payments are supported, but the nominal price will be based on USD.
Full devices from ASICMiner are definitely going to exist on the form of samples and small batches. ASICMiner may also build new mining farms based on new chips. Unsliced wafers may also be available for sale. But the main business direction is to provide packaged chips.
Price range
0.49$/G-0.99$/G, depending on order size and delivery speed of choice.
Please bear in mind that when choosing brands of Bitcoin mining chips, the cost of making whole working mining devices, including PSUs, DC/DC, heatsinks, fans, and room cooling facilities, needs to be taken into account. With our relatively low power consumption, the customer can save more money on the devices' side.
Partners
We are especially interested in the following types of business partners:
1. Large mining operation owners who can also do massive PCB production of their own.
2. Mining device manufacturers who can improve our open-source design or make new designs from scratch.
3. Resellers with various channels and abundant liquidity in cash or Bitcoins.

) i think i've caught up on emails and messages, so the spreadsheet should be up to date.
