Nothing to do with bitcoin. Delete the thread.

where did you find the pictures? URL? If more info doesn't come out it will quickly get labelled as another scam.

If they put two chips on a USB3 stick and we could add a cooler that could be interesting. BFL limits the jalapeno to 4.7ghs because of power requirements. But then I'm guessing if they only clock these at 2.5ghs they might be at 90Nm and hence use more watts per hash.

Still if they sold that for <$50 I might be interested. Plug them straight into the side of a powered USB3 hub.

Don't be silly. These are plain integrated circuits for USB (Universal Serial Bus), not for mining bitcoin.
Do you think the terms CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC are solely bitcoin trademarks?

6" wafer it looks like.  Probably built in an academic fab.  It's strange that the wafers have flats on 2 sides, that isn't standard.  I have a list of all operating fabs somewhere.  I seem to remember that there isn't anything below 130 nm running on 6" wafers except for an IBM MEMs research facility in Switzerland.

Given the tiny die size, and the large transistor node I find the 2.5 GH/s implication very unlikely.

If someone has some serious photoshop skills it would be interesting to see what all the writing is on the opposite side of the tag.

ROFL... maybe the 2.5GH/s refers to the whole wafers output combined =P HAHA!

Could be.  IBM used to make mainframe processors that were entire 4" wafers.

Is this the list you're looking for? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_fabrication_plants

That's a nice reference.

What I'm thinking about costs $5000 / year to subscribe and has a LOT more fabs in it that wikipedia does.

"HOUSE LABELS" is obvious - below that, hard to say.  It's quite blurred..
