But we can probably assume bitmain will do what they have done in the past. Which is set frequency slightly better than the competition for a slightly better price. Then overtime release revised versions unlocking more speed.
But that is speculation and I didn't have my toast this morning.

You know 7nm is not new to bitmain right? They have been playing with those for months now, i do not think production will be much limited, its more or less the price of both gears and btc that could get in the way of them selling the gears.

Just pure marketing to me and therefore we should not see S17 coming in a near future. Maybe May-June is more probable.
You know you are running on crypto time when 60-90 days from now ISN'T the 'near future'.
Since this is the speculation thread, I would speculate that initial yields on the new 7nm chips will be so low that the machines won't be available in any significant qnties for many months. Not crypto many, but real many. So I would not be too concerned about any sort of big difficulty jump. A couple thousand machines will barely be a rounding error and a lot of them will likely go to replace older gear. The first batch for pre-order will probably get the best chips from the first tape out as well, and will also be the most expensive.

Some Chinese miners have already started talking about S17 being released next month, these guys are usually pretty accurate at least with the release date, they also dropped S9 price with psu from 395$ to 271$ for April delivery.
I am almost certain that next month will be the release of these monsters.
The S17 is expected to do 42TH at 1500w
S17 pro is expected to do 48TH at 1550w
The numbers on S17 seem very reasonable, in fact even 44th at 1500w is doable, not sure about the pro,it's a bit too much IMO. but let's see how it goes, will keep you updated if i get any confirmed information.

With BTC in the consolidation phase and a potential price war looming between Bitmain and Whatsminer, I would agree that preordering might not be in the buyer's best interests.
If the alleged specs are right on the S17 though, it would be hard to justify mining with anything else once the time comes for these to start shipping.

I don't see any working model of either of them. I am not defending bitmain, but waiting 4 months seems a little irrational to me.
absolute truth
a 4 month preorder is nuts.
sometimes I hate the internet as writing what you mean is hard to do.
I see info (specs) that is clear and easy to understand on the m20
I see no info on the s17 (specs)
is all I mean.
I do not mean you should do a four month preorder of the m20.
For that matter you should not do a four month preorder of the s17
In fact you should not do preorders beyond 45 days.
I did order 1 t15 due to ship on April 1-10 basically I was curious to compare it to a s15 which I have.
and it had a coupon and in theory was under the trump tax number.

Antminer S17 Pro... That would explain the scam email I got this morning from the email address presale at bitmainstech.com (notice the s in the middle) with the subject "limited non Public Preorder - S17-2". Watch out folks!
I have seen these type of emails before with a PDF attachment order form complete with Scan QR-Codes claiming the following specs:

I don't see any specs for bitmain. I see specs for Whatsminer.

Let's see when they reveal their specs...
Oh, and the Antminer Z11 was also unveiled today: 135KSol/s @ 1418W

The Z11 was sold out immediately, so maybe they will open second batch soon.
To me, it is highly suspicious that they released another news about s17 few hours after microBT released their M20 for sale. Just pure marketing to me and therefore we should not see S17 coming in a near future. Maybe May-June is more probable.

Bitmain is showing their cards. They will be releasing their new ASICs in time for everyone's next anticipation for the next bull market. Very smart.
