nice chips, get frying them mr cat.

Great chips, 0.3 W/GH. Looking forward final result 

[hdbuck]

I believe i cat fry

[slastar]

Nice job. Waitng for prototype of final miner. Hoping you will show it faster then Bitamin and Spoondolies.

Interested in designing a miner board with these
Any info for samples?

[Anthony1985]

Finally! This is great  . . .

[achtung082]

Looking forward to seeing what comes of these.

I hope that AM sticks to just selling the chips and not making miners again. Amazing how bad the Prisma experience was...

After the thorough testing of single chip boards, we are going to test boards with chained chips.

Do you have enough test units to send one so I can try to have BFGMiner support at time of production shipping?
How about specs?

[sidehack]

I was hoping they were gonna stick with pin-compatibility with BE200 chips like was mentioned when they open-sourced stuff earlier this year.

Additionally, a small suggestion for strung miners - fuse the power rails per bank. If something fails short and parts start popping off, it'll blow the fuse instead of catching the board on fire and then you're down a bit of capacity but still operating.

Or at least drop a publicly available datasheet with pinout and data protocol....plz

Yes!  Please provide samples to Luke-Jr and ckolivas so BFGMiner and CGMiner are supported at launch.

And so it begins! It will be interesting to see the formfactor devices take as GH / chip [at these speeds] is much lower than BE200 which was ~7GH. Power per chip is also down so the hashing and power density of BE300 will be quite significantly lower. This is of course that AM doesn't throw out W/GH for $/GH.

We achieved 7.2GH/s per chip already, increasing W/G by about 10% compared to 4.8GH/s per chip.

There's a large room for $/GH optimization for mass production, and even if we do not do it, the $/G on 7.2GH/s setting is still decent.

So once you get everyone's money will you and your crew go silent for weeks\months on end again?

Yeah sell chips and make this opensource THATS the only way hobbiest mining will survive. Groups of people can build their own miners =)
Make the chips cheap too of course.

Hmm... LGA vs QFN..  does that mean the heat goes out the top of the chip now?

Negative ghost rider. Lga is similar to qfn in that they both eject heat out the bottom

This isn't the "same" LGA as like the Intel cpu sockets
