Chip? Looks more like toast to me. It's massive. Look at his hand and compare it to the chip.

I still cant get my head around how big that chip is.

is that a Cyrix 6x86? 

[markm]

Looks like the margins on the time margins got pretty much used up, I wonder how the margins on the gigahash margins and the margins on the power usage margins have been doing...

heheh think about how cool the actual chip will stay inside that massive package

I'm going to repeat this here before it get's lost.

EDIT; oh and as for the 'active but not posting' b*llocks. I'm in another country, which I have paid myself to come to. I'm not paying for data roaming on my sodding mobile so you can have you hands held on my minute by minute activity. You're relentless, and for the most part freaking me out. What little internet I have had has either been checked on free wifi, or here, I'm now paired to one of their mobiles, which involves standing outside. Which involves security clearance. Seriously when you think about it, it's bleeding obvious.

Don't sweat it, man. There've actually been quite a few of us in your corner.

Just have fun, enjoy your trip, and remember: Non illigitimi carburundum.

Why the sarcasm? IIRC they never stated that they had margins with their time management. It was a close call from the start, and Kudos to them for making it happen in that timeframe.
And thank you for confirming my previous post regarding GH and power trolls

Judging from orama's pic they had to redo boards.

ITS SKYNET...obviously KNC's chip is for the more advanced Terminator model..ie it is bigger and shiny!

and web page with pic....see PROOF KNC is improving on the SkyNET chip ....(ack)

er truthfully KNC's chip looks more like an actual movie prop imho thou....lol

How did you get to that conclussion? Could you be more specific please?

Looking at the photo's of the board something is missing.

The competition for a slogan on the board. Where is it
I was wondering which one had won, but i can't seem to find it (looking on my ipad mini but for a slogan it should be something to notice i guess)

ah yes, in the teaser video they posted some time ago, SMD components were all installed except for the chip. Orama's pic shows chip on the board but regulators and most other components missing.

It could be tho, like I said earlier, that the teaser video was from the prototype run or something.

it was supposed to be on the mainboard, not the asic modules

The lower earlier board has a different pinout to accept FPGA's to test the board.  Not a sign of trouble.

[Searing]

hmmm chances that phoenix and I still lost our wagered coins on bitbet with the pizzaman?  - (>98%)

ooooooh, stop!!!!    Yes!!

ewwww.....you didn't just do that right?....(some people the bigger the "chip" the more they "get off on it")

er by the by it is 10:31am in Sweden  more or less at the time of this post....so depending on how "hard" they want to "push this"

(sorry the whole chip/board thing is getting me off too)

anyway...they have more or less 13 hrs or so to "move" something out the door will be interesting...

That is the same board from the vid.

It is different from the pen pic board.

One easily identifiable difference is silkscreen and mounting holes for two 6pin power connectors.
The pic of Sam with the board shows one location populated and one unpopulated. (top left unpopulated)

Populated with connector is by his thumb.

On the mainboard of the Beaglebone ? Why extra costs on a standard out of the shop on stock board.
Sound's more likely to be on the board KNC designs. Maybee there stackingboard then that connects the Beagle serials to the hashing boards.

I only know of one chip thats this big. IBM Power (mainframe) CPU,  like this power 7

Huh? All I was getting at was that the other margins might maybe have been much greater than the time margins, since as we all knew there were not a heck of a lot of time margins involved at all...
