Not only is it the cheapest $/GH for a November schedule, but you are more likely to have a timely delivery.. and here's why:
The queue is small right now, VMC only has $80,000 of sales so far, based on a chip with a $1,000,000 NRE price tag! So get in there and you won't be waiting 3 months!
Would you rather be in an order queue that has $2,000,000 worth of orders in front of you?
Or one with $80,000?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
This is the reason I previously mentioned in another thread. However, there's a lot more. These chips are made by eASIC Corporation.
easicopy ASIC provides OEMs with a seamless path from a eASIC Nextreme or Nextreme-2 NEW ASIC to a, cell-based, easicopy ASIC thereby enabling OEMs to further reduce device cost and power consumption, or increase performance.
easicopy ASIC provides OEMs with a low risk, vital addition to their existing value engineering programs. OEMs have peace of mind that as their product succeeds in the market they have a solid path to cost reduction, and hence higher gross profit margins.
The eASIC Continuum
With eASIC as a partner, OEMs have multiple solutions for cost reduction that can provide the optimum choice for their product evolution:
◾During market exploration or early volume ramp, greater market uncertainty may exist that may make it difficult to justify a cell-based ASIC NRE. eASIC’s low up-front NRE eASIC Nextreme or Nextreme-2 NEW ASIC devices enable OEMs to minimize risk while bringing profitable products to market early, and secure early customer design wins.
◾When initial customer successes transition to very high volume production, easicopy ASICs provide OEMs the choice to further reduce cost, power consumption and increase performance via a cell-based ASIC migration.
and here is an example of one of the many products that Ken will have available once his engineers do the assembling:
64 GH/s Expands to 6.144 TH/s
Upgradeable To Next Generation
Hashing Cards
AVAILABLE FOR PREPAID PRE-ORDER ONLY
Limited Availability on these units (Shipping Starts November 2013)
ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE WILL BE DISPLAYED UPON CHECKOUT
Keep in mind these are generic containers and not custom built. It's what's on the inside that counts!
And that would be this....
