Wow... great price point at 0.75BTC per unit.  The specs state you only need 2 of the 4 PCI-e connections if you want to run it non-overclocked - so it would appear I can replace my 2 S1s with these and use the same HX1050 to power them both.

The fan rpm is quite high.

Yeah at 2800rpm each it will be quite noisy.  I know just one running at 2500rpm on a S1 was noisy.  But maybe the ambient temp where they test is very high.  Who knows.

From the description:

Quiet: The customized heat sinks mounted to the hash boards, one box over S3 to control the air flow, two fans mounted on both front and back ends that mean fans are able to work at lower speed to dissipate all heat easily. This design let S3 run at much lower noise level.

and what about upgrade-kit for S1 users?? any news?

S1 upgrade kit won't be available yet soon IMO, because bitmain needs to mass produce S3.

This is my personal opinion only  

Arggg ok Sad but considering S3 price, S1 upgrade should be "cheap" i suppose...

I think 0.75 its a great price with delivery.

But i thought it was 504 GH/s and it says 478, so maybe 504 its overclocked? And will it have enough cooling as this S3 comes in a box and not "opened" as S1.

well i will save for S3 then, i just need 0.19 more BTC Grin

Welcome to dogietalk.bs
Bitmain - can you confirm that these have been tested & are working on p2pool?

Yes Bitmain, please confirm this. I bought 2 x S2's that I can't use with p2pool......

Hello Community,

Finally, we can make a promise now. We will open the sales of S3 in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00. Beijing is in the UCT+8:00 Time Zone.

The price will be 0.75 BTC per unit in the first. The first batch of S3 will be shipped between the July 10th and 20th.

We strongly believe it is best choice of mining bitcoin for both the mining farm and the home miners.

AntMiner S3 is the third generation Bitcoin mining rig made by Bitmain. It uses the state of the art BM1382 chip powered by the 28nm tech process with ultra-low power consumption, targeting the best combination of power efficiency and low capital expenditure for mining investors.

Specifications

Hash Rate: 478 GH/s±5%
Power Consumption: 366 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.77 J/GH on wall
Power Supply: 12V DC
Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm
Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends.
Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
Complied with: FCC / CE
Network Connection: Ethernet

Features

1.   Stand alone: The S3 mines stand alone, needs no proxy server.
2.   Quiet: The customized heat sinks mounted to the hash boards, one box over S3 to control the air flow, two fans mounted on both front and back ends that mean fans are able to work at lower speed to dissipate all heat easily. This design let S3 run at much lower noise level.
3.   Stable: Running 24 hours a day with minimal downtime.
4.   Accurate: Hardware Error got from the sample unit rate is as low as 0.3%, which is the lowest in the world.
5.   Efficient: High energy efficiency to save your investment on PSU and electricity bills.

Notes

1.   Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters.
2.   PSU: You have to prepare your own the ATX PSU. The S3 ships without a PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input, but it only needs to connect two of them. Don’t parallel connected DC inputs from different PSU into the same Hashing board.

They possible have a price fixed in btc and min in usd to sell the S3.
But the btc exchange rate need to be improved for them to show a good return on investment,
projection and market their new antminer over it. At current rates they cannot liquidate much S3-s.
Since the price of btc started to improve again they they will look into liquidate their Ant S3-s to us.'
They don't loose for holding but gains! 2% of global network hashrate is from private Antpool.
