Will stick to my S1 x 12 set up paid average 1.1BTC. Over the past month they have produced at least 5 BTC (2.16TH)
Not a single issue with any of the S1's very stable quite and low consumption.
Like the S2 but not interested at the minute bit too high in price and a few unknowns
Will it as stable and reliable as the S1?
Whats the import duty?
Noticed the S1 price has started to move up 0.92 2 days ago 0.988 today
Bottom line is time = money waiting upto a month to start hashing with S2 would cost me $3600

Bitmain just updated their site with a sketch of what the unit should look like.

looks quite slim for a such density of 55nm chips

I agree with the other people in the thread - I'd like to see it without a power supply. Makes the unit a little less expensive - plus makes it easier to keep up and running IMHO. I've already got a bunch of good supplies to run my S1's so I could just repurpose some of those for an S2 - and have a more redundant setup than a built in supply.
Of course I'd also like to see it at a lower price point - and dropping teh supply out might bring the price down by at least $100 - plus make it easier to pass thru customs.

I've got 10 Ants running right now and it is loud and hot! I think it is worth the premium if the unit is cool and quiet,I don't plan to pre order but once they have equipment ready for purchase I will upgrade for sure.
I know I'm late to the party on this one but if you think ANTMINER S1s are loud/hot, you've never seen an Avalon clone! Try twice the power use and 100% fans...
... however, 90% draw is pretty intense for 24/7. I beleive Bitmain is capable of knowing/understanding this so that they either use a quality enermax PSU or actually draw closer to 850W during normal operation.
You guys are funny, debating this PSU thing all day long. QUALITY of the PSU means everything... And that Enermax fits the bill. The plugloadsolutions.com PDF (ie official 80 Gold document) states they tested it @ 100% load, 1112W at the wall (input watts), 74A and the 12V line stayed 12.1V. That's killer! Blah blah blah 24/7/365... yeah well I had a 910W Silencer PC Power and Cooling 80+ Silver supply that I put on a 4 module Avalon that pulled 970W @ the wall and ran it that way for over 6 months. No issues, rock solid setup. If BitMain ships it with a 1KW supply and you don't like it FINE, then just keep it as a spare - never can have too many PSUs in bitcoin land!
Draws 1000 watts from the wall Assuming 90% is actually wattage used with gold psu, that's only 900 watts.
exactly. however, 90% draw is pretty intense for 24/7. I beleive Bitmain is capable of knowing/understanding this so that they either use a quality enermax PSU or actually draw closer to 850W during normal operation. Its known the chips can achieve as low as 0.68J/GH (J=W) so its quite possible they are tuned to draw the ideal 80% of the psu rating.
we will know in 2 weeks or less. until then, its all just conjecture and imagination. The written specs dont give much info and are little more then an approximate placeholder.
No, it is not S2.

Dam, that thing is 2000W for only 360 GH/s ?!!!
The Chinese do know how to make knockoffs. This thing is a longer, shittier, power consuming double S1.
2000watt yet they are powering it with a 750watt supply...
I would guess the 2000 watt statement is inaccurate in some way
The datasheet also 3 J/GH at nominal clocks, so while 2000W seems high, if they are running the chips harder 2000W could be close to possible.
Please drop the price of the S2!!
and S1 too!

Is this maybe the new S2 
Fits on a 4U Rack.... Looking NICE:D
Sorry for so low res

well since we know the power supply is contained into the unit and is 1000 watt... if that were an S2 that power supply should be on fire.
these look more like modified S1's
Yeah should have spotted that, I still think S2 draws 1000w for 1000w is odd and bitmain has even confirmed this!
Yeah I highly doubt the S2 is drawing 1000 watts and has a 1000 watt supply.
you don't build out a 24/7/365 device to have its power supply pinned to max with an expectation it will last.
No, it is not S2.

I think the design is pretty sick though and well cooled and easy rack mounted
