The spec sheet is here: https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc/blob/master/GC3355_DataSheet.pdfThese are hybrid miners that utilize the BTC hashing core to do a few of the SHA256 calculations for LTC apparently, they are claimed to be able to simultaneously hash BTC at 1.75 GH/s and LTC at 59.6 KH/s while pulling 4.56 W. Hashing LTC alone, they are claimed to pull 59.6 KH/s at 0.44 W. the chips are not mine, this is gridchip project (team behind avalon gen1,gen2) there is conference on 8th dec in Beijing for launch where you can pick up raw chips & development board. other regions will be added later Scheduled at 10:00 on December 8, 2013, in West Street, Haidian, Beijing, 70 3W coffee (Haidian Book City, south of the membership across the sea floor), held Gridchip GC3355 chip product launches and mining machines. In addition to the chip and mine-site machine product launches, and BTC, LTC demonstration outside mining, but also on-site sales of 50 sets of single-chip development board and a few chips.
Development board: each 500 yuan chip: 400 yuan per piece, per pack of 1600 yuan four chips
This price is only preliminary offers developers, not as a formal reference to the product price. Each person can purchase two development boards, chip purchase of two packs per person. http://www.cybtc.com/thread-3226-1-1.html

If it's true I'll be cranking my GPUs hard for the new few months until these come out -- ASIC introduction into Bitcoin caused a 100-fold increase in valuation, I would be surprised if we don't see a big increase with Litecoin too. This is 0.00738 W/KH/s versus 0.300 W/KH/s for a GPU -- a 40.7 fold increase in efficiency. This is about the same increase in efficiency as compared to BTC when ASICMINER first introduced its chips; I'm curious to see how they did it.

Hopefully it doesn't happen soon. I want to put some more GPUs to better use.

If it happens it happens... maybe that primecoin GPU miner will finally get off the ground.

So it is confirmed I guess... the second thread shows a single chip hashing at 84 KH/s.

Well perfect time for people to invest and switch to more asic resistance coins.

Interesting, something like this was always more likely to come from left-field rather than the scammers shouting "we're developing multi-MH/s LTC ASIC" to the rooftops.
The documentation is a little light on specifics (such as the internal RAM, TMTO or threading), but at around 60kH/s in four LTC units its not too dissimilar to the open source engine, so we're probably looking at a few MB of RAM at most.
I'm most intrigued by the register specification which has 8 words of midstate and (the usual) 19 words of data. I wasn't aware that midstate was applicable to the scrypt algorithm (or at least, it only applies to the very initial stages of the PBKDF_128). I'll need to look at this in more detail as I may have missed an optimization here.
Anyway, good luck to them.

I'm no expert at this but if I'm reading this datasheet right, claims to hash btc and ltc at the same time

Are there any readymade samples? What is their speed and price? I would buy them.
