The antminer s6 gone have 4500 gh/s
Power 1000watts
I can not wait to order

I would like to know the source of this, i have search a lot and don't find anything.

It sound too good to be real 

You will notice the month that was posted .   I would not put to much stock in it.

Not to mention I think they said skipping S6 and S7 will be their net gen.

I'm sure it materialized in his mind.  Apparently he also married Cindy Crawford

these r just rumors ,this thread was started on 15th Jan still i cant find s6 in the market.

Of course, this is just a random wishlist thread when Bitmain already said the next unit was the S7, the S4+ and the S5+ fill that gap for now, apparently.

Me i'm guessing the S6/S7 will be in 0.3X efficiency range. There would be no point for a S6 at 0.44, that'd just be a S5+ enclosed in a shell, more shipping costs for fitting in U racks.

[sidehack]

Bitmain's probably already got it but they're not going to sell it. Right now they are their own competition so why ship the good stuff when they can still charge up the butt for the old stuff what people are still satisfied to buy from them?

I think it's understood the S4+ is the S6, which makes perfect sense seeing as it was a rollback in technology and efficiency at a worse price instead of something actually newer, better or worth paying for like their even-number units tended to be.

yeah i dont think we will see anything new from them for a few months at least.. they still have used s5's and now the new s5+.. why release anything else now?  makes sense to roll with these unless another manufacturer hits the market with new gear

Sure it does, its a great time to release new hardware soon. They can release some s7 running at 0.3J/GH or something and charge twice the $/GH to home miners that get raped on the electricity cost, but is still better ROI for them.

They keep their S5+ in their farm because they don't really care nearly that much about max efficiency since their electricity is dirt cheap. Meanwhile they incite miners to mine at their pool and they earn quite a bit from it since they keep all Tx fees in the blocks found.

They can sell a few PH of S7's and it wont affect the overall difficulty much, but they pocket all the money and a good portion of the added Hashrate is going to be on their pool anyways, so BAM, Win/Win for Bitmain.

Bitmain has some good brains for money making.

What I find funny about this thread is he wasn't very far off about the next miner from Bitmaintech the S7 (4.86 Th/s 1210 W).  It could have been a pure guess, but also could have been rumors of goals being set around Bitmain.  I hope someone predicts the S8 as 10 Th/s 1500 W at the wall  in the next few months.

S8 will be a big step for Bitmain as I think first we may see a 3 bay S7+ with 14-15TH.

S8 will then need a BM1386 and we are into uncharted territory as they probably the need to go straight to full custom on a 14/16nm Technology to get the speed & efficiency needed to make it worthwhile and be efficient enough after the halving. However agreed 10TH/s and 1500W giving 0.15J/GH sounds about right.

That said I would prefer to see a miner with 10TH/s taking 1200W, 0.12J/GH as you get a bigger choice of PSU's and the heat in their standard form factor is more manageable.

I think a S7+ makes sense first from past history.  They easicly can do the S7+ one day if they decide to.  So I think it is a easy extension.

S8 ... who knows not much talk as they are good at keeping stuff internal.

I would really dislike seeing a 3xS7 Frankenstein monster (again). A rectangle box form factor doing 7~8Th/s on 1400watts would be what i would like to see. (Maybe with a good PSU included for once?)

Then again it could be possible to buy individual "cubes" of S7+ which would probably 1200w~ as well but 6TH/s~ instead of 4~5TH/s.

We may very well see an S8 around February with 2 x 1600W PSU's at 10+ TH/s and the same size form factor as the S4 and S4+.  However, that may not be feasible by requiring a 240 Volt outlet.  It would be strictly for data centers or those with 240 volt outlets.

I think they have hit the 'average user' power usage wall. x2 1600W is like running an oven at 400 24/7! Look at the SP50, x10 1600w PSUs... jeez.

I'm not even sure thats convenient for a datacenter setup. What then? They're going to start expecting people to use 550volts? Can you even run any kind of PSU at 550Volts? Geez.

The S2/S4 format make much more sense for datacenter. And for home, the SP20/Avalon4&6 format make the most sense

No, it would run off of one 30A/240V outlet with PDU or whip.  One 20A/240V double pole outlet will suffice for one rig.

EDIT:  30A x 240V = 7,200 WATTS  or 20A x 240V = 4,800 WATTS

However, I'm not so sure of my thoughts anymore.  I could see them doing something TOTALLY NEW with the 1600W PSU but having larger blades with 50% more strings on each blade than what they have now on the batch 1 though 9 S7's.  I can see it smaller than the S2 and S4 form factor and about the same size as the S5+ form factor but inside of an enclosure with 4 x fans.

But the SP50 is 16,570 W, its not 4800watts. I think i/we confused which miners we were talking about.

So i meant, with the SP50 that you need 10 1600w PSU. I dont think that's convenient for anyone.

It's not convenient for anyone except a data center.  I don't know how they planned on powering the SP50.  Only thing I can come up with is multiple receptacles instead of only one receptacle.

Except that the 10 1600w PSU. are Serevr style hot pluggable and are built into the unit.

Thanks Rich.  I should have took a look for myself at their website.  However, I really don't care for SPT anymore unless they change their ways.
