Strange.
Their obsolete hardware is clearly visible & you have to dig a little to find their their next generation technology that's hidden away in a corner where n00bs like me don't notice it easily.
I wonder if this'll be like the playstation 3 launch where sony initially claimed a PS3's computational power was "1.8 teraflops".
Later the original estimate was corrected to something like "200 gigaflops" almost 10 times less than sony's initial claims.
On butterfly labs page it says
The BitForce SC chip is now in final stage development.
Is it possible to accurately test something that hasn't progressed beyond development stages?
I would guess the numbers BFL is citing are
maximum theoretical performance and not actual performance & that the real numbers could well be significantly lower than advertised as it may well be impossible to test & benchmark components that have not yet finished development?
While BF's business model may not be a mail order scam, it could be a marketing scam as BF never claimed to have a finished product -- only a technology in development with theoretical performance claims?
