AM is selling BE200 at cost. Or Rockminer will join AM's franchising farm?

If this were correct, then we are making $1.14 per chip. FC said per chip cost was <$0.20...

...per Gh/s.



That was based on simulations and doesn't actually tell us how much the chips cost though. The actual cost of chips has not been made available to us.

Exactly. Since each chip is nominally 10GH/s, the cost price is less than $2 per chip. How much less, nobody knows.. Is there anyone with experience in chip fabrication at 40mm node size who can hazard a guess as to how much 60PH of wafers would cost (at 10GH/s per chip and 40TH/s per wafer



And, Rockminer paid $1.34 per chip (or $0.134 per GH/s) in their latest order of 120k chips.



I wonder why they didn't need to buy power supplies with this second order. Perhaps this purchase really is for a centralised (franchise?) farm, so they will supply DC power from a big power supply, instead of having small dinky power supplies? Or perhaps they have sufficient power supplies and other materials from their first order. Exactly. Since each chip is nominally 10GH/s, the cost price is less than $2 per chip.
