they'll be about $16
they have 192 dies vs cxb's 144
while cxbs have higher surface area to dissipate heat, the 1216 may have the extra dies to match it despite the smaller package. we'll soon see. just got a shipping notice from cutter on the latest crees, its almost thunderdome time
again i have no dog in the race, i dont endorse chips because i stock them, i stock them because i endorse them. whatever is the best value on the constantly changing COB landscape ill move towards and do my best to purchase the best chips i can in bulk to offer them at the best price i can to builders. citizens are great chips... i think luminus might have the edge for now but things are always moving. 1216 is gonna be a contender to CXM22.
i cant for the life of me imagine why cree doesnt jam more dies onto a 50V cob and take the throne back... its long overdue.
