Could KNC Neptune be 5 TH/s

[AmericanBit]

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?

Wow, I never thought of this myself. Would like to know this aswell

Initially, Jupiter was announced as 400 Gh, and actually was 560, thats about 30% bonus. Later, overclocked "novembers"  670+(thats another 30%).

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 .

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.
