You should maybe have looked in the Custom Hardware forum where we've been discussing most of these pictures for weeks now.

I will not comment further here or speculate about what the obvious differences might mean.  I think those that have investments at play here ought to have some thoughts.  But I am done. 

C'mon man out with it, don't be a CT!!!!  You've been hinting at something a couple of times now and I for one am curious and would like to hear your speculation, please.

Here's a hint. GIS for how NAND Flash Memory wafers look like.

So you are saying we are looking at this? 



Seems to me they would be taking an awful risk by showing that with the amount of knowledgeable eyes perusing these threads. But who knows.........

And for the chips, they said they had gotten the cores to run at the full 500MHz.

lol

Twitter? Really? Are they updating their main page as well? Serious question, btw, I don't check their forum or website without being directly prompted.

I think I saw one. Kinda lost track as the months roll by. April will be brutal for BFL investors if ASICMiner really can bring 50Th online while Avalon batch 2 customers get their units.
