Very interesting. Sounds like they might have gotten a massive order of chips in, and instead of overclocking the crap out of them like the S1 they'll run them undervolted to get close to the 0.67J/GH they originally tested. I wonder how much room to OC these there will be.

So roughly the power of 5-6 S1s.
Yeah Avalon shipped without PSUs because of all of the delays and complexities that would sometimes cause.

Antminer S1 currently mine at about 0.0204462 BTC per day without overclocking. (Current Difficulties: 4,250,217,920) *Pool luck may increase or decrese the mining rate.

And better power specs than running 5 s1 ants

Here comes S2!!
WOOOOHOOOOOOOEEEEEEE!!!! 1TH miner! No picture but hope they will upload it soon Bitmain Technologies Limited is proud to announce ANTMINER S2 that features 1TH/s Bitcoin Miner, consist of high-density chip chains and ultra low power consumption. AntMiner S2 is using the state of the art BM1380 chip, targeting the best possible power efficiency. S2 is built into a 4U size box, and it will come with PSU manufactured by Enermax. S2 will be very convenient to deploy. S2 is still running quietly. Since November of 2013, BM1380 has been proven to be the most effective IC on the 55nm process among all competitors, even comparable to the most Bitcoin Mining ICs developed on 28nm process nodes. Our first generation Bitcoin Miner, AntMiner S1, demonstrated low power consumption but a high performance. Currently S1 is most popular miner for mining enthusiasts. S1 is currently deployed in large binary trees structures within the private and public mining pools servicing 20.3% of the entire network hash rate. The 1st Batch of AntMiner S2 will be shipped out on April 1th. AntMiner S2 will be available in the global market for a price of $3,799. This batch is limited in quantity. AntMiner S2 SPEC: * Hash rate: more than 1,000GH/s * Power consumption: 1,000W from the wall * Power efficiency: 1Watt/GH/s * PSU: 1000W produced by Enermax, 80PLUS gold * 4U Rack * PSU inside * Plug and Mining * Stable and quiet Time to buy some cheap antminer s1's xD. If this is true, I'll snatch one up, but I don't have 4 grand. Yet. How much do you antminers in price will go down?

S1 is cheaper up-front, but higher power draw. S2 is more expensive up-front, but with lower power draw will be able to run longer. Both are decent offers.

And both will continue to decrease in price as difficulty increases. M

for 6.131 BTC, you get 6 antminers s1 and you have a 1080 hash rate, but you need to buy 6 PSU. so i think S2 is a great deal.

The S1 is cheaper strictly on a $/GH basis, but you will still have to add 2kW worth of power supplies to them in order to run them. That adds a few hundred dollars to the price and closes the gap some, $3800 vs $2950+$400 I'm hoping the airflow in the closed case is better than the S1s. Stock the S1s lose a lot of airflow from the fan not ducting entirely through the heatsinks. If they do the case properly they might be cooled better than the S1s.

Do you think the antminer s1 will still be viable, and be sold at a high price relatively quickly on ebay or other marketplaces?

Im not impressed with that. I though tits gonna be nice little piece like s1 or similar. Price is still high though. Once first batch will go to people bitmain will have massive success again like with s1. but for now like everything which is new price is to high and its just HYIP which will slowly slow down and price will go down. If there would be some info about how much you can push s2 to achieve more this would justify the price. Fact is that as usual bitmain will deliver on time. And this puts big smile on my face. But i dont wanna be guinea pig with the customs etc. First batch will go and then will see how much issue EU buyer must resolve to get hands on this bad boy. Plus this time i dont think "game gateway" will be included as description of package. For some reason s1 had to be with reasonable price on the box and from 30gbp now jumped to 70-80gbp per unit for customs. What will happen if customs will calculate charge against real price of almost 4kusd? Price to high. And please 112bit don't say its good deal as at this moment we have no indication from buyers what kind of issues will be facing. Good price is for s1 at this moment, i made few orders with bitmain and im massive fan. I stopped ordering s1 to save more BTC for new gear. This will be my next move once all this slow down and price will settle a bit.
