I do not see an 10nm or and 8nm as IBM has developed in near future, not even in late 2017. Problem is the further down we go in nm, the less suppliers is possible.
So, too many big players will fill the orderbooks for other industries like the mining industry, so the S9`s will be here for quite some time. Perhaps they will release a 30TH miner that's able to run from 2 bitmain PSU´s or 1 IBM Bladecenter PSU, but a new miner like an S10 or an S11 is way out in the future. The competition on semiconductor industries has narrowed down with the 16nm and it will be even more difficult with 10 or 8nm.
Soon Bitmain will realize this problem and will either be forced to make the chips them self...not going to happen or they will simply stop selling to the public.
I guess the last scenario is the most possible one.
Topic: first bitmain antminer S10 speculation thread (probably) - page 4. (Read 29600 times)
Bitmain's already skipped two rackmount miners - the S6 and S8; I really don't think we'll ever see a return of the monster racks that the S2 and S4 were ever again. They were never in very high demand, and the S3 and S5 were simply better options than the racks for the most part. -LN miners have probably been the replacement for the racks.
Bitmain does not have a high demand for S9, if they are thinking of bringing in an S10, they had better sell at a reasonable price. Miners are not making profit like before, buying an expensive rig is the last thing they want to do.
My professor and a few of the students believe we have put togther a machine that can actually hash out 1.5 zeta hash
Not sure about this topic. Trying to understand what people are saying.
It is a bit tongue in cheek or dry humor. Just like my thread on the s-11.

My prediction is that if there is an S10, it will be a MEGA MONSTER miner - something on the order of A2 Terminator sized, or more likely 5-6U rackmount, with 60+TH and multiple power supplies needed to run it.
And it won't show up before late winter 2017.
And it won't show up before late winter 2017.
for mining power, at least 15 Terahash/s at 150W each Terahash; because the production of chips will probably be done in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation - TSMC (at my prediction, 10 nanometer).
if we're gonna speculate about a year from now, and call for 10nm, then I think 150J/TH is too much. Let's make some progress and expect 100J/TH or hey, let's expect 75J/TH.
75J/TH would make a 5TH/s home miner possible without melting the lamp cord extension cord that runs under the carpet to get to the miner.
To infinity and beyond!

so everyone is predicting with the antminer S9, right? even though S9 is ready to release, i am a bit curious about if the newer version of antminer is gonna release like S10 as mentioned. if nobody has had posted anything ever regarding the S10, then this will be the first ever thread.
if you wanna speculate with the S10, please leave some of the guess here.
i would guess about specification...
this miner will be released in the early Q2 2017, after the S9 is released.
for mining power, at least 15 Terahash/s at 150W each Terahash; because the production of chips will probably be done in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation - TSMC (at my prediction, 10 nanometer).
why 15 terahash? because the transistors are ever increasing without enlarging physically, instead, by shrinking the fabrication of silicon. and for the 150W per TH, you know, a little amount of power can run a lot of things nowadays, and unlike 32 or even 16 nm.
for the data port, i think either USB 3.1 or ethernet 10Gbit would be more reasonable, mainly because the convenience for the hobbyist, or for the noobs; for the ethernet, explicitly all of them consists of.
indeed outlook will just like S4, i am not sure if S6/8 was ever released, if not released, then this thread is predicting if bitmain is bringing the S series ending with even number.
for the influence? this kind of miner will let the bitcoin network more fierce and more kind of altcoin will be gone popular as more people gets to mine, the bitcoin price will more likely soar up at least $1000. this kind of miner would gone insane in demand until a newer miner which could ever defeat this vorpal.
i am not sure if i am getting off-topic, but let's see what you guys think to this speculation.
