"Zetagig Inc., a US based semiconductor startup, today announced its Z1 bitcoin mining ASIC chip that delivers groundbreaking energy efficiency and performance. Through several innovations, the Z1 chip, implemented in a previous generation process node, matches the efficiency of current competitors. When ported over to leading process nodes, the Z1 IP is projected to deliver bleeding-edge system efficiency of ~11J/TH, significantly reducing operational costs for bitcoin miners."
This efficiency is projected to improve to around 10J/TH when Z1 chip is ported to cutting-edge 3nm or 18A process nodes, far surpassing current and anticipated industry offerings.

So many variables in delivering a quality product. There’s been plenty of asic manufacturers. Only a few package their technology well enough to have repeat buyers.
Operating a business is tough, most fail
Competing on j/t is tough, you need money and timing
Qc on the way out the door is just as important to make sure someone buys your box twice
