Math doesn't care what you believe.
Bitmain's 16nm Bitcoin ASIC orders have recently been shifted from TSMC's Fab 14 in Taiwan to the fab in Nanjing, China as Fab 14 will be upgraded to support a 12nm manufacturing process. The orders are expected to begin shipments in May, the sources said.

Read that carefully folks...  Order were shifted to the China fab, presumable also a 16nm one.  Fab 14 was being upgraded, but Bitmains chips would not be coming from there now, they will be coming from the older tech China plant.

Didn't see this mentioned in the S9 thread, but thought I'd share some info on the S9 that I saw mentioned in an article about Bitmain's E3 :

..."Because of the declining value of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, some market watchers are concerned that Bitmain may significantly cut its orders with TSMC. However, the sources from the upstream supply chain revealed that Bitmain so far has not made any major adjustment to its orders. In addition to 16nm and 28nm mining and AI chip orders, Bitmain is currently in talks with the Taiwan-based wafer foundry about manufacturing on its 7nm process.

Fab 14 has already obtained orders from MediaTek for its AI-supported Helio P60 smartphone AP and Nvidia for its next-generation GPUs, the sources added.

In addition to the Antminer E3, Bitmain's Sophon BM1680 AI chip is also manufactured on TSMC's 28nm, the sources noted. "

We can only hope, of course if they release the S11's too quickly they will gain even more haters because they were selling the S9's for 2800 not too long ago  Roll Eyes

I’m also looking for 420 coupons to purchase for $85 with escrow.  I’ll pay escrow fee.  PM if available.

U should go look at marketplace section. Lets hope bitmain lowers their production for future asics. Difficulty rising too much considering bitcoin price not rising.

Just my 2 cents.

I've been looking at marketplace but no luck at the moment.  Maybe it's a sign to wait more before purchasing miners.  Saw a listing for >$100 per coupon but I'm not willing to pay that much.

Miner prices dropped

Antminer T9+ & PSU w/$420 coupon = $472 + taxes delivered  Shocked

This might be a good opportunity for re-sellers in case BTC goes up, where bitmain will pump up their prices.

Selling coupon is more profitable now  Grin Grin Grin

Haha true! Although some great bargains to be had on bitmains site with these coupons, just the import tax is the killer!
