If it looks like bullshit, smells like bullshit, chances are ... its vaporware.
3 mainboards having 6 ASIC chips, each with 32 1GB DDR3 memory, thus totalling to 72 GB RAM
Someone is bad at basic math. 3 x 6 x 32 = 72? Lets assume they meant 3 mainboards with 32 1gb ram, even that comes to 3 x 32 =72? ...
Ofcource if each asic chip had 4 gb memory dedicated to it, that would make each mainboard 6 x 4 = 24 and then the total 72gb for 3 mainboards makes sense.
But DDR3? Really? What is this 2011? DDR3 would not have nearly enough bandwidth to mine at 1mh/d for the entire thing.
Ethereum ASIC chips will enter mass production stage in February 2018 by TSMC’s 28nm process. The F3 miner is expected to hit the market in Q2 or Q3 2018.
TSMC's ground breakin 28nm process node because we are in 2011 again ... ofcource this silicon will be as efficient as the 14nm GPU's in the market ...
Also miners expected to hit the market in Q2/Q3 ... when is the tape out? When do the engineering samples roll out? Or are they just going full blown production run?
And when is POS? Why would they make an ASIC for a mining algo that is going to remove mining altogether pretty soon?Eth could use this as an excuse to change the
al-gore-rhythmonly allowing 10gb gpus to work ie the 1080ti, titan xp +volta.
thus tossing the entire bitmain f3 into the shitter
puts off pos for years. Huge boost to nvidia.
We had to do this to break the bitmain "stranglehold" on coins .
Be careful is my motto for now.
