Taken from the BFL forums: Chips have shipped from the fab and are on their way to the US. They are expected to arrive early next week (Monday or Tuesday), but since the bumping facility won't be ready until the 14th as the earliest, it isn't quite as critical. We really wanted to have the bumping facility be ready prior to the chip arrival, but there were a number of factors that lead to it taking slightly longer than anticipated. Timeline remains the same as above at this point. As we get more information, I will update more. But the chips are confirmed to have been sent.

Remember that a bag of chips is always half-empty... at best ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Exactly. After seeing how Avalon has only shipped 2 of the 300 units, I doubt BFL is going to have all 6,000.

After seeing how Avalon has only shipped 2 of the 300 units, I doubt BFL is going to have all 6,000. I am going to speculate that BFL ate through a good portion of the batches/Wafers they had on standby to get to this point. As they use 65nm, that means it has alot of layers. (More Layers = More Days to deposit them) It may be a while until they reach the newer orders. The current speculation is that they can cover most orders up till August 2012. BFL Customer Service mentioned some of the newer orders may be delivered to customer as late as May 2013. September til February orders will have to wait for some time. -------------------- It is pretty much a repeat of what happened with the FPGA products. (Well not with the power consumption issues...one hopes.)

September til February orders will have to wait for some time.
Hopefully they will also provide steep discount vouchers or coupons for later customers if this does turn out to be the case. If you ordered in July 2012 and waited till February 2013, it is 7 months to receive a BFL product. If you ordered in August 2012 and waited till February 2013, it is 6 months to receive a BFL product. If you ordered in September 2012 and waited till March 2013, it is 7 months to receive a BFL product. If you ordered in October 2012 and waited till April 2013, it is 7 months to receive a BFL product. If you ordered in November 2012 and waited till May 2013, it is 7 months to receive a BFL product. etc..

Don't pop your top just yet. They still need to be bumped, packaged, and most importantly, thoroughly tested.

LOL seeing you fools with your heads hung after 7-8 months of waiting. Fucking priceless.
