Declaration: Before physical chips are out and fully tested, all specs/dates/data are for reference only and subject to change.
声明：在芯片生产出来并测试之前，所有的参数/时间/数据都仅作参考并有可能发生变化。
Although with unexpected obstacles, timing rearrangements and delays, our chips are still on track of delivery in March. This thread for releasing information of chips to public, with the intention of getting enough (direct) customers or (indirect) resellers aware before actual chips are produced.
即便有很多没想到的困难，时间的重新安排以及延期，我们的芯片仍然保持三月量产的预期。这个帖子将公布芯片的最新信息，希望在量产前能获得足够多的直接客户以及经销商的关注。
The information will be updated to be more and more accurate, as we are updated with our fab, engineers, as well as the mining market.
随着我们的晶片工厂、工程师以及采矿市场的进一步发展，关于芯片的信息将有越来越准确详细的更新。

What to expect with the chips
芯片的配套
Datasheets and reference PCB design are going to be released as soon as they are ready.
数据表及参考PCB设计即将放出。
Chips will be available for ordering once the functionality and yield rate are confirmed with testing on actual chips.
当功能及效率在样片上测试后，将开放订购。
There will be three modes of orders: Immediate delivery, 2-month delivery and 3-month delivery, with the price getting lower one by one. For 2-month and 3-month delivery, premium + balance payment may be supported to enhance liquidity and enable larger orders.
订购有三种模式：现货，2月期货，3月期货，价格随时间降低。对于2月及3月期货，预付款+余额付款选项可能会推出以加强流动性及方便大单订购。
Both USD and Bitcoin payments are supported, but the nominal price will be based on USD.
付款支持美元及比特币两种方式，但名义价格以美元为基础。
Full devices from ASICMiner are definitely going to exist on the form of samples and small batches. ASICMiner may also build new mining farms based on new chips. Unsliced wafers may also be available for sale. But the main business direction is to provide packaged chips.
AsicMiner的挖矿整机肯定会推出，可能是样机或小批量机。AsicMiner同时可能构建新的基于Gen3芯片的矿场。未切片的晶片也可能发售。但是主要的商业模式还是提供封装好的芯片。
Price range
0.49$/G-0.99$/G, depending on order size and delivery speed of choice.
价格区间
0.49刀/G-099刀/G,取决于订购量和配送速度的选择。
Please bear in mind that when choosing brands of Bitcoin mining chips, the cost of making whole working mining devices, including PSUs, DC/DC, heatsinks, fans, and room cooling facilities, needs to be taken into account. With our relatively low power consumption, the customer can save more money on the devices' side.
Partners
We are especially interested in the following types of business partners:
合作方
我们尤其倾向于以下几种合作者：
1. Large mining operation owners who can also do massive PCB production of their own.
大型矿场主，能够自己进行PCB量产的。
2. Mining device manufacturers who can improve our open-source design or make new designs from scratch.
矿机厂商，能够提高我们的开源设计或者进行新的设计。
3. Resellers with various channels and abundant liquidity in cash or Bitcoins.
渠道、资金实力过硬的经销商。
