Notes: Introduction date is "21 Bitcoin Computer" availability date.[1]
21, formerly 21e6, is believed to use their own developed chip given their staff. Little public information about the hardware used is known. On the 18th of May, 2015, 21 Inc. announced that they will be providing development kits of a BitShare chip to interested parties with the intent of their chip to be used in embedded applications.

BE300S prototype BCT
Introduced: 2014-Sep-16
Technical specifications
Package: Sawn QFN40*
Markings: BE300S
Die:28nm
Foundry: TSMC
Gh/sJ/GhMh/JVMHzWh/HzGh/mm²η-factor
30.18753420.5616
5.20.24740501.28388
Notes: This was a prototype manufactured on an MPW. The package appears to be soldered on only 2 sides, which may imply that internally there are also only bond wires to those two sides.
ASICMiner BE300(S) BCT
Facilitators: BitQuan,BitFountain
Planned: 2015-Feb
No pictures available
Package: FCLGA 5x5mm Die:28nm Foundry: TSMC
May not actually exist (see notes for details)Mining: 8Gh/s 0.038J/Gh, 12Gh/s 0.038J/Gh, 6Gh/s 0.033J/Gh, 9Gh/s 0.022J/Gh
Notes: ASICMiner would consider this their 'Gen4' product. The expected hashing performance and package size is preliminary.
The BE300(S) is understood not to be in production at this time.

ASICMiner Unknown a 2015 16nm chip co-developed with BitQuan,BitFountain. The planned node size would be 16nm or 14nmThis chip is planned to be introduced in the future.

ASICrising GmbH

ASICrising Wolfblood XEwww BCT
Facilitators: RacyICs
Planned: 2014-Aug
No pictures available
Die:8.45x8.45mm@28nm (custom+cell) Foundry: Global Foundries
May not actually exist (see notes for details)Mining: 100Gh/s 0.19J/Gh, 125Gh/s 0.29J/Gh, 150Gh/s 0.29J/Gh
Notes: Third hash rate listed is based on Gh/mm² numbers using the 100Gh as the base value. This was also used to derive the die size for further calculations.
As of 1 April 2015 (2015 -04-01) the ASICrising website states that the design is "Tapeout-ready", implying that it has not yet been manufactured.

ASICrising Wolfblood x14 a 14nm 200Gh/s 0.08J/Gh chip . As of 1 April 2015 (2015 -04-01) no further information on this potential chip has become available beyond the Coinbau investment brochure.
