Designing ASIC Chip for Enterprise

Question

I am new here and hope to glean some expert opinions. I am a disabled veteran and will be starting a bitcoin mining enterprise in the near future. I have done some research and feel that inquiring with some large asic makers to make a more profitable system is the smarter way to go. Can someone please provide some insight on the following build to mine bitcoin.

Power Circuitry: Texas Instruments TL7700 Voltage Supervisor
Communications: SHA 512 or Whirlpool 512
5 nm die
BGA Design: Texas Instruments CFCBGA GDZ or best applicable model
Processor: Multicore DSP+ARM KeyStone II System-on-Chip (SoC) 66AK2H14
Cooling: EVGA Kingpin
PSU: Cisco XPS 2200 x 14
Server: ASIC Chips x 30

I am budgeted at $150 - $200k for the entire server setup including ASIC's. A separate budget of $100k will fund a 10 Kw solar array.

As I'm shooting for the stars, my goals are 150 TH/s per chip and 1000 watts per chip.

Thanks for any feedback.

Will you design the ASIC yourself, or have you budgeted something to hire somebody to do it? Good ASIC designers probably start at $200k/year. — The Photon, Jun 28 '19 at 04:00
10x really? All the components are existing, someone would just be putting it all together. — Wellnavy, Jun 28 '19 at 20:15
If you are "designing an ASIC", by definition the component doesn't exist yet. — , Jun 28 '19 at 20:47

A budget of $150-200k is unlikely to even cover the NRE costs for fabricating a part at 5nm, let alone the cost of designing one. Your project is futile.

The rest of your "build" is mostly nonsense. XPS 2200 is an accessory for Cisco routers; CFCBGA is a proprietary package used by TI; EVGA Kingpin is a model of gaming graphics card… none of this makes any sense.
