The Yukon sounds good and overall, esp. power consumption wise (if at the wall), on par with AM and that supposed AM rockxie miner. May even have a very very slight edge what power consumption is concerned. But it's not blowing AM away. It's just some slightly more powerful competition the cat will have for breakfast. The thing is - we know AM. And we know, they deliver. In Bitcoin world this is priceless.

This 'brilliant' design sounds suspiciously similar to the asicminer one in all but name (and power consumption).
Could it be the same chip? It's watts (or rather Joules) per gigaghash figure is about 2 - 3 times what the asicminer is spec'd at (0.2 - 0.3) but I am curious as to exactly how they (asicminer) managed to coax these figures out of what is clearly a standard SHA256 implementation. The Israeli one is probably closer to the truth, but even then they're having to run the device at way under it's normal core voltage to get the power down.

I'm thinking of buying around 1100 chips. Could you direct me to the PCB design as well and give me a quote on 1100?

1100 chips, that's 14 boards or so and <7kW total, given that AM's china reseller cranks out 1TH from a board with 500W. And you want to bother with your own PCB design, getting a quote and all that? I am not sure if FC had that in mind when he wrote the following: 1. Large mining operation owners who can also do massive PCB production of their own. 2. Mining device manufacturers who can improve our open-source design or make new designs from scratch. 3. Resellers with various channels and abundant liquidity in cash or Bitcoins.

You might want to investigate what The Wasp Project is up to. They seem to be very interested in getting on board with Asicminer and may be in a position to buy volume for resale to support their efforts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422243.0I believe friedcat has regional distribution (resellers) as well that may handle smaller orders. Back in September they were noted as the following : US: eleuthria, CanaryInTheMine, SilentSonicBoom Canada: teek EU, Switzerland and North Europe: yxt China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau: rockxie Australia: asicminer@swishbits.com.au India: Pinwheel

We are keen on doing up a AM2 chip Wasp. Just point us to the sample chips and the detailed specification and we will design it and release the BOM and Gerbers for it.

Very good! Please let us know when you receive the chips and how their performance is!

Very very good! Care to provide some photos? Are you able to test the chips in any way or are you "only" in for the reselling?

I don't know my way around electrical engineering enough to test them, unfortunately. Plus, I'm located in Europe. But I believe even if Canary isn't able to test them, he received them in order to encourage him - as a major AM reseller - to start a group buy. I guess the most important figures designing PCBs and miners also received samples or are in contact with AM in order to receive some. Hence I'm not worried that the relevant people haven't received any chips.
