There is a roumor that S5 can do up to 2 Th... Why do we need next AntMiner in this case?

at stock is running at 50+C how the hell will it reach 2th!

With BTC so low I don't see them rushing it. I think it will be a little while.

they are rushing it for sure! not on the market but in their own farms Cheesy

and it depends a lot on the rest of manufacturers: AM, SPTECH, etc. if one is coming with something new and powerful to the market, bitmain will not want to loose a piece of it's own pie...

if and when the s6 comes out it will probably be 4-5th at around 1k to 1.5k cost. When will it come out? good question but my guess is a little before summer or early summer

It would be nice if it was sooner than later....S6 would/could/should be interesting.

if this is correct then the i expect BM will rise the price soon.

Think from a point and on to enchance and all ready good product is very very difficult.Btc market is not on its best with the low prices
So similar 1.5 miner will be with 500-750w consumption
What I realy enjoy on the S5 is that you need one psu and not two plus one by one item sale

Double the S5 wattage and still able fit in one psu. There are lots of 1300-1600 wattage PSU on the market nowadays.

Mine Mine Mine

chuck a few s5 blades in a box - make sure they're "screwed" nicely

put in a few quieter fans - not that loud but sufficient cooling (by the time it comes out, winter is almost over)

rack mountable ? yeah most likely oh yeah & a fancy LCD screen - but probably with thinner metal sheets for the case ?

try to avoid "magic" smoke from the psu's - stick in a better server type psu or even a VERY good idea & selling point + less headaches where the consumer can find a equivalent server type psu to be fitted/modded.

cost ? - i'm still gonna let ya'll willingly make me rich while u know it may or may not make $

prolly a little "nice" bonus with some miner software linking the miners

cgminer versions ? OS ? yeah there's gonna be sum sort of fukkup but hopefully not especially after releasing a new FW & the miners don't hash or go dead

NO free shipping

my guess - 6 blades minimum, air/fan cooled packed in a box (maybe a light weight one?), lcd display, server type psu = 3th/s (under/over clock-able) between 1500-2000w psu, FW/CGminer +/- abt the same, most likely (my guess) 8 blades underclocked = a lil more hashing power but lower electricity consumption & defo coming in a box (4u)

price - Huh

1 thing for sure BM is NOT going to loose any $

tell 3kw to the 110volt guys!
3kw means 2 psu's, it means 4u or more... heavier than hell!
don't see a progress in up-ing the wattage. this way we gone have 10kw in 1 miner looking like a fridge! see knc and 400watt thru an 6pin vga...
this is not the way!
the way i see it to be good for miners, is to keep the case format, cooling and wattage and keep on making smaller and less of power hungry chips.

they better do an min 1000 to max 1500watt, not 2000w. too many amps on 1 cable
add more chips, lower the voltage and make it a bit better than knc neptun, say 3.5th!

I actually prefer to go all the way to 3k watt or higher. If you want to mine you have to go big anyway so cmon, get a new high amp cable.

it wouldbe good if they could do more efficient miner.

3. When better power efficiency is needed in the future due to higher network difficulties, you may want to buy some special PSUs 9V DC with more than 10A output, which will allow you to have a 0.2J/GH mining efficiency, but at lower hashing speed.

With this information on the S5 I believe the S6 will have the same chips as the S5, only with more chips and with a "Special DC PSU" to lower the power consumption.

Thug for life!

You need to remember that the s5 can also be undervolted to achieve .2 w/gh which is less then 1/2 of what it consumes at stock speed.

I do think/hope we will see great improvements in efficiency with the s6, hopefully down to ~.25 w/gh at stock speeds

I would put my money on a rack mountable miner with the new chip like:
S1 - S2 BM1380
S3 - S4 BM1382
S5 - BM1384

Rack mount would be nice.. And it would have been really cool if the blades would have been able to fit in the s4

The S4 still has quite a bit of life left in it being profitable for most places, I doubt we see a upgrade on S4.

this is the truth. the s-4 can do .6-.7 watts per gh and at .6 watts a gh the s-4 pays

for 10 cent it pays for power until diff is 94959m
at 12 cent power it pay for power until diff is 78123m
at 15 cent power it pays for power until diff is 61211m

so no need to make an s-6 for at least 90 days.

We have now seen the S5, which is not really what i've been expected, the SP20 can do the same, 500W at aprox 1080 GH/S, and it can be easily undervolted, and it's been on the market for a while already.
What about the S6 ? maybe they will get better with the S6?
I expect it to be around 4 Th/S - 4.5 TH/S, with an 2000W
Price should be somewhere around 1500 $ TOPS

I would say the S5 was not to far from expected. Double it's former S3 on hashing power and less power. I expect S6 will follow trend. We will see around 4T with less or equal to S4 power.
