Bitmain Antminer S4 !

[jonnybravo0311]

I guess since they fitted 10 cards inside a S2 they will now take the 10 cards in the S4 making it a monster of 4.5Th/s
clear speculation off-course!!!

If the S4 follows the pattern of the S2, it certainly won't be 4.5TH/s.  Remember, the S2 underclocked/undervolted the BM1380 chips from the S1 to make that 1TH/s at 1100W - typical ratio of the chip was 2W/GH/s.  If they hadn't, the S2 would have been a 1.8TH/s miner consuming 3600W.

The speculation is that the S4 will indeed follow the same paradigm established by the S2.  My thoughts on the specs are earlier in this thread, but to reiterate them here, I believe it will be around 2.2TH/s at about 1300W.  If Bitmain wants to use the same PSU as the S2, then it'll probably be closer to 2TH/s at 1100W.

they would improve the PSU, ofc.

Good luck hooking up three 1200w PSUs to that! Lol.

This reminds me of the poor souls who used moron-math and thought KNC was going to ship them 15THs Neptunes instead of 3THs.

S4 might end up being some rack mounted creature to compete with SP31s.  It may not be usable in households (at least not US 110V).

I actually prefer SP31 because of the compact setup.

Sp-31 maybe expensive but its good looking

interesting to see

SP-31               3920 uSD / 5500 ghs = 0,7127
S3     0,58btc      300 USD /   450 gh  = 0,66 (if its 500Gh then 0,60)

off-course needed PSU for the S3 and its more quiet for household use.
I dont mind the noise as I host them in my warehouse

now if S4 goes for 2000 ghs we must wait to see the price

Was hopping S4 is at least 5 Th and is cheaper then SP-31 in-term of price/ghs

Bitmain as we have noticed is afraid the transport of bigger boxes from China.
They prefer small antminer boxes like s1-s3 when they have problems with S2.
Remember the horror pictures we saw early 2014 with the S2 miners
So making a big big miner boxes is a problem

What problem did they face transporting big box?

For some people, hashing boards became disconnected during transport and were tossed around inside of the miner. They eventually improved the design and it became much less common. I'm sure they've learned their lesson.

But for most people, all they had to do was open the case and push down on the boards to reseat them.

any news on the S4 ? i've heard they are already testing it !

[seriouscoin]

the S3 is already getting outdated with only 453 GH/s at the price of 0.58 BTC without PSU

Any news on the upcoming Antminer S4 ?

We do need a solid unit producing more than 2 TH/S +,  maybe at the price of 1,5 BTC or lower

I was hoping something like 5-10 TH/s and really compact. Waiting patiently..

Hashrate means nothing if you dont even have ROI.

Dont come back here and cry because you're super doper 100TH/s is a lost investment.

That's because they were idiots and didn't attach the boards to anything. Take a look at any PC. There is a bracket at the back of each card that screws into the case. Missing from the S2 (mis)design.

dude,really ?

I believe that Antminer S4 will come out in October. Just a hunch

I have herd that S4 will be released later on this week.

[CryptoPanda]

heard where?

Really? where did you get that info.

[Master One]

OMG, the S4 has been released TODAY! This is insane!

Just think about it before getting fooled by a joke!  

[vortexz]

come on bitmain, give us some news !

[desertfox470]

They just came out with an S1 upgrade, so I don't think a S4 will come out soon.
