Sounds like they have a plan indeed. Welcome to planet S1...
Quite the imagination you have there...
BITMAIN Earth S1, the beginning.
First of all, s6 will not operate on SHA-256 ASICS.
S6 will operate on 10mm supercomputers made from mutated, hyperintelligent human brain cells. Bitmain estimates that those miners are going to be so efficient and effective that about 1/5 of the world's population will in some way invest in bitcoin. The demand is going to be so high that the bubble that's going to be created will make Bitmain the largest company in terms of revenue and reserves on earth.
Bitmain creates its own state and decentral bank. Shortly after they announce that there's not going to be a s7 miner since s6 turned out to be so efficient that it will remain profitable until the day only transaction fees are mined.
That's when Bitmain decides to invest into spacecrafts. In record time, they successfully launch a manned mission to Europa, the frozen moon. They establish a base there, this way it's easier for them to satisfy demand for miners from outer space. They also cover the planet's surface with self-sufficient S6s and since the planet itself is so cold, they manage to overclock them at a stable +40% hashrate.
Hashnest.com is now the main source of income of every state, human being and company worldwide. The planet is renamed to Bitmain Earth s1.

A part of me also has me believing manufacturers will not go with the 16nm until the price comes down. Availability of the 14nm doesn't look too good either.
Also, the 14nm would be quite a big jump in power efficiency and would make the selling of such rigs skyrocket. As such a rig would last a long time concerning its race with difficulty. That's my opinion anyway. I don't know that a rig with efficiency as low as .17 watts per GH is good for bitcoin mining right now or not. If it was made available, only the big boys could afford it. As it would be quite expensive due to the present costs of the 14nm chips.
I do know this will be a very interesting year in bitcoin mining rigs. That's for sure.

i would expect at least 22nm for one of the two, or you think it's still to early for that?
Hard to say, Amph. Most expect ASIC manufacturers to skip the 22nm. However, they just might go with it at the right price. Only time will tell. I'm kind of leaning towards the 22nm. Hence the .37 watts per GH for the S7 and .35 watts per GH for the S6.

This is a quote from a thread titled: "GekkoScience BM1384 Project Development Discussion"
The following statement was edited by the original author but quoted by another member before it was edited.
Then you can make some USB sticks, and make some return for the near future, I'm interested in the miners, but the questios is the cost of the unit.
If the numbering of rigs is consistent with past numbers of rigs by Bitmaintech, the S6 (even number) will be a large form factor with built-in PSU like the S2 and S4 models. The S7 (odd number) will be a similar form factor to the S3 and S5 without PSU.
I would expect the S7 to be approximately 2 TH/s @ .37 watts per GH for a total of 740 watts to make it available for power from a 750 watt [preferably 850 watt] PSU.
I would expect the S6 to be approximately 4 TH/s @ .35 watts per GH for a total of 1,400 watts from a built in PSU that is able to provide 1,600 to 1,800 watts for potential over clocking.
As for the pricing of each rig; only time will tell. The price seems to fluctuate with the price of Bitcoin as of late.

No they haven't. All I've been told is S7 would be announced around July with the new "innovative and competetive chip" and that "right now we have no more info to the public". I would bet the comms are pretty similar to the BM1384, which was identical to the BM1382 as far as I can tell, but the pinouts and packages haven't yet been the same from one chip to the next so I don't expect them to do it again. Hopefully it wouldn't take long to adapt a functional BM1384 board to a BM1386 (or whatever) board if they don't change their IO protocols and voltages, basically just redrawing footprints and rerouting some lines.
