40 nm ASIC coming, designed by those claiming to be behind the scene of Avalon

[brucesewell]

You guys should really take a look at those photos.

Now a new team claims that they will be designing 40 nm ASIC chips. They even claim that Yifu outsourced the design of Avalon to them, with those photos:

Indeed, you will need to sign in to see the pictures. These are tons of Avalon chips in original trays.

Where we able to order from them?

[Blue777]

That is a really excited news for some teams

24 big box * 6 smal box * 2600 = 374.400 avalon chips = 100 TH

You are a gentleman and scholar! Thank you.

These are just the same pics as the current avalons, check the serial nums, I see no difference..

The hijacking in this thread is soooo big!

So does this mean Avalon's bulk chip orders are good to go?

So does this mean Avalon's bulk chip orders are good to go?

I would say not, note the shipping labels on the large boxes, they say HongKong, so likely these have been shipped from Taiwan to HongKong and onto Shenzhen to be made into AVALON units. These are typical of the type of photos that a Quality Control Inspector from AVALON would take at TSMC during Final inspection Ex-Works or possibly by Chinese Customs and Excise on arrival in China. I would take a stab at the former. Shame there are no dates to be seen on the packaging.

cheers,

This thread is even more murky than the one yesterday, where this btcman situation first resurfaced. 

Combining the translations there with these photos of Avalon chips, (which could be as old as Batch 1, right?) I'm going to put this back in the FUD/BS category again.

I do some research
On box is Air Waybill No: 871 5050 8076
http://www.track-shipments.com/track-trace.aspx?pref=AWB&awbno=87150508076]
From PVG (Shanghai Pudong International Airport) to HKG (Hong Kong)
Total 135 pieces.
If on each box QTY 7832 that is 135*7832= 1.057.320 chips.

That's 135 boxes inside those 24 cases.  Since each case can hold up to 6 boxes, 6 times 24 cases is 144 boxes so some of those cases are not full cases.  So if each box can hold up to 2600 chips that means there are 351,000 chips on that skid.

There are more than million chips :O.  Each box holds 6 x 2600 = 15600 chips

BTW, the date on this tracking is June 25th, so the "Batch 1" theory is kaput.

On the other hand, if the chips sales aren't due to start until September as someone said, what the hell are they doing with a million chips (or 300,000, but whatever the right math is: a buttload of chips) in Shenzen or at least at HKG?

This story keeps running hot and cold, and then hot again.  Very interesting...

And 15600 times 24 cases is................. 374,400 but since the tracking says 135 boxes I am willing to bet there are some cases with less than 6.

So are these millions of chips manufactured 40nm node?

I meant small box contains 2600 chips. So big box has 6 small boxes. And 135 big boxes. So I guess total chips <= 2600 * 6 * 135 = 2,106,000
