ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[MyRig]

Everyone loves TOPLESS right?  
S5 batch 1 will even be the Bottom Less!!...  (I thought it had the bottom plate but I think I was wrong.  I just realized that....)

Side will  have the cover.

Bottom = YES
Top = NO  (Open Top Design)

So have we heard definitively whether or not there is a top and bottom to this unit?

(not being a troll...)
I will say, I think that this is a great idea... he benefits to those living in colder climates , it's good.

Merry Christmas!

can i get a review unit? since it's xmas?

[andhanq81]

if 2 units S3 become one in C1, maybe 2 S5 become C2 

i'll wait that

[MyRig]

That would be our wishful thinking...

Bitmain is going back to the basic!  Lets take a step at a time to make sure this may be the return of the S1.

Quick question:  How many ASICs per board on the S5?

in that way new s4 should have about 4th of power

[MyRig]

Antminer S5 has a total of 60 BM1384 chips.  30 Chips per hashing PCB x 2.

Hope this answers your question!

waiting for independent review

[infernoman]

just wondering if you will be offering a upgrade for the antminer s1's now and the s2's?

[raskul]

waiting for independent review

i'm about as independent as they'll find. But what you will get is a dogie review, because they are paying him to do it. Bear that in mind when he tells you it's the bestest minerz in the wiurld.

[dogie]

Not impressed by the tag line: "The absolutely promising bitcoin chip in the market".
Really? I can only hope no advertising buro was paid to come up with that slogan 

Specs look like a modest step forward. Pretty much leading the pack today, but probably not enough to compete with upcoming AM/BF/SP rigs, but much will depend on their time to market.

Non native english speakers, I've already requested the picture be changed.

[dogie]

I would also like to know when orders will open up.

dec 27

That's shipping time, not on sale time.

[sidehack]

So a 15s2p string. At 12V that gives 0.8V per chip, and an expected hashrate (according to your charts) of 1320GH - about 14% more than the listed 1155GH. Where's that come from?

Also, how susceptible are your chips to under/overvolting from ripple currents when some chips in the string underperform? Is there a parallel current path to loop around underperforming nodes to keep load currents and node voltages relatively constant? Just wondering about stability and such.

it doesn't have a lid?

Specs ok but don't like the open design. I wish the price were lower also. 

It does have a lid, just for show. Otherwise the pictures would be identical to S3

BMT already addressed, thanks. Should make a nice space-heater with the warmth emanating from the top.

why do I never get these ?

i feel left out 

[vortexz]

oh well, lucky me ...

[dogie]

I am kind of disappointed... was more hoping of minimum .25/w/g...

Such a huge gap between the S1 & S3, this isn't even a gap since it's still the same, but improved, 28Nm process.

Its a 53% W/GH reduction compared to the S3, that's huge. You can now get 50% more hash rate using the same infrastructure, space, power and cooling.

A bit harsh raskul, Bitmain may have dogie on the payroll, but he would already have lined himself up to do a review, as he does with all new miners as they come to market.
