The "new" chips are 0.001J/GHs at least less efficient than the previous S9 chips.
Same chip running at a higher operating voltage, thus the reduced efficiency.
Up side, it SHOULD allow better overclocking at more reliability *IF* you can keep the bloody things cool enough, as they're not pushing the "bottom end" of where the chip will run at all (which seems to be a lot of the issue with the S9).
Agreed. The power specs are rather on-par with the s9 batch-1 and 3 I have. Both use a high Vcore and are Hungry. At full rated clock of 650MHz the batch-1 tops out at just over 1400w after settling down from warmup (briefly >1500W). To keep temps down have that one clocked at 600 and it still averages over 13.5THs
So the tip there is to either keep the temps low or undervolt the thing. Someone said on this thread earlier that the bitcoin miner only has one fan which I can definitely see would be a problem to anyone who wants to buy this miner (obviously I can't due to electricity costs).
Is this available in the hashnest market? If not, I hope it does not take too long to be there.
Last year, the s9 miners took so long to get into the hash market that I don't think it was worth buying it.
It's not going to come. In the same way like the R4, R1, U3 and other miners didn't come. It is a sort-of partial release of a miner that comes out after the miner is made (such as the S3+, S4+, S5+...)
So we will probably never see it even go near hashnest.
