notes
THE HIERARCHY POINT: this record is deliberately almost empty because no source located publishes any specification for the BI-V250. The part is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Iluvatar CoreX as a product in the company's lineup, but no datasheet, product page, press release or teardown was found. The BI-V250 is listed in the product evolution table on the mirrorfrog.com page for the BI-V150 as 'Tiangai 200 (BI-V200)' with 'TBD' status — note the naming discrepancy (V250 vs V200) which may indicate a renaming or a different part. Every field above is None because every field is unknown. This record exists to document that the part is mentioned in sources but has no published specifications. Treat as an open question. MEMORY_BUS_WIDTH: STILL NULL, AND HERE IS PRECISELY WHAT WAS LOOKED FOR (2026-10-04). The vendor publishes NO memory-bus width for this part, and none was back-computed from the published bandwidth. NO FIGURE WAS BACK-COMPUTED FROM BANDWIDTH.[REPAIRED 2026-10-08 by w8-reverify. This sentence previously read '(2026-10-04). %s NO FIGURE WAS BACK-COMPUTED FROM BANDWIDTH' — a literal printf placeholder left in the JSON by the wave-3 pass (commit 9968769) across 34 accelerator records, and invisible to every check in this repo because validate.py never reads notes. The substitution text is the same boilerplate the 7 uncorrupted records in this family already carry, and it is only valid here because memory_bus_bit is null on every one of the 34, so "the vendor does not publish it" is the true state. A record with a non-null memory_bus_bit must NOT receive this filler.] That is the standing rule for this field in this repo and it was applied to every null here rather than to a subset: a width derived by dividing a published aggregate bandwidth by an assumed or half-assumed per-pin rate is two inferences stacked on one number, and if either inference is wrong the record looks populated while being wrong. The correct state of this field is 'the vendor does not publish it', and the note above names the specific document that was read and found not to carry it, so a future pass does not have to re-establish that from scratch. MEMORY_BUS_WIDTH: STILL NULL, AND HERE IS PRECISELY WHAT WAS LOOKED FOR (2026-10-04). No source located publishes a memory bus width for this part. Where the record exists on the strength of a single secondary mention, that is stated in its own notes above. NO FIGURE WAS BACK-COMPUTED FROM BANDWIDTH.
