ASIC is also something different, than the FPGAs...
Another round.... soon we will see, who will really supply it.
I bet they (3 companies) will supply asics, the questions are, who will ship first, then wich will be the best buy

I would guess they are going to ship right around the last day or so of november so they can say they met the november date guideline.

Wow they look very sleek! It's amazing there is no fan needed even considering the low power/high ghash usage.

The low power and "underclocked" nature of the jalepeno is why they don't need a fan. People are already trying to think of ways to sup it up and cool it.

I had a 16.4W FPGA miner board for a while (an X6500), and it sure needed a fan. Without airflow the passive heatsinks would get too hot to touch in a few minutes. The Jalapeno is supposed to draw 4.5W.

The Jalapeno is supposed to draw 4.5W. It's not hard to cool 4.5W passively, especially in an aluminum chassis. A thermal pad between the chip and the enclosure should be more than enough.

Isn't the jalepeno supposed to be hot to the touch? Hence the "coffee warmer" part.

If they did that they would be up on corporate manslaughter charges as people would be dying of old age in the queue!

It will never be able to warm a cup of coffee, unless you like your coffee room temperature.
