The difference between the S1 and S2 could be similar to the difference between the U1 and U2. Same chip but with hardware and software based optimizations to improve performance.
Yeah thats what Im willin to bet on. Same chip, optimized hardware around them and perhaps more chips.... =) Would be nice if VRM's were beefier and voltage control could be done easily =)

My guess is that sushi will come to your house and configure the S2 so it will actually produce physical bitcoins BITMAIN has the POWER

The S2 will be better than the S1 and I already want one. That's my speculation.

Speaking to a supplier in China who buys from Bitmain local production facility said it's top secret project but has been hinted that there will be 2 models released 1Th/s and a 2Th/s model.
As always this is speculation but I can imagine this will be the case due to keep up with difficulty and other competitors.
If going by the other results of the U2 Bitmain will release details a week today and following sales that week for dispatch on the 31st to go in line with the U2

Will be great if they'll be able to keep the power consumption below 1w/ghash

The S2 will be 1000 GH/s, will use 55nm tech, and will be released in April.
In June, they will start implementing 28nm tech in their next products.

Hmmmm parts are right but from what I am been speaking to Bitmain they are not using 55nm in next batch... 28nm I have been told

Ah, was just going off what I had been told directly by BITMAIN in regards to their product release (and closing) timeline for products. In particular:
"Our company's new product is ANTMINER S2 , 1000GH/S in april" "S1 will stop sell in may" "S1 and S2 is 55nm tech . we will use 28nm in june"
and so on..

Bitmain may be bluffing us But I am sure S2 is 1Th/s and also improved cooling system and power I have been told and yeah start in April. S3 must be 28nm what they were talking to me about. All will be reviled soon

So everyone guessing here with the release of S2... If it is 1TH, that number sounds great however if it going to use 55nm, then as mentioned before power consumption will be roughly 2kW... technically they will be putting a machine with 178 chips on the board for S2 (5.55 S1's).
28nm sounds much better as the difficulty is getting hard and harder, lowering the electricity bill will be appreciated.

Seems to me regardless of what process node they use they will need to use a chip with improved power consumption in the S2. In the original U1 the chip was always under clocked. The U2+ just took the same chip added a bigger heat sink and changed the default clock rate. Since the S1 was already operating at close to the maximum clock rate they will almost certainly have to use an improved chip in the S2.
