24TH/1950W so about 80W/TH, but the miner costs $1999 and ships by the end of October, though sales start in June. I'd still personally take the S9i at its reduced price for a much lower $/TH cost sacrificing just a bit of efficiency, but nice to see that GMO has something working out the board that beats Bitmain for now.
I would agree, because BM price is 4 times less now, for S9i - and taking $100 coupon in account, which I have a few, I would better order S9s for delivery in a few weeks.
Some people just might not want to (or be able to) operate a single 2KW miner.
By the way, this miners would need a 2,200 Watt PSU - which can cost much more than Bitmain's atandart APW3++.
Does anybody know how much a good PSU of 2200 Watts costs?
JUST RELEASED !!!
GMO has just made a public presentation of their 7NM miner!Being the first bitcoin mining device developed in Japan, the B2 is also the first miner to use 7nm semiconductor chips, enabling it to achieve performance and efficiency gains over devices that are already on the market. Bitmain’s Antminer S9 uses a 16nm chip, while Halong Mining’s DragonMint T1 features a 10nm chip produced by Samsung.
GMO believes the release of this miner is the first step in supplanting Bitmain — which currently manufacturers an estimated 80 percent of all ASIC miners — as the dominant force in the industry.
“I respect Bitmain, but we will top them,” GMO CEO Masatoshi Kumagai reportedly said.

the B2’s 7nm chips were produced in Taiwan, most likely by TSMC, which also supplies China-based mining giant Bitmain with most of its chips.
They are planning to supplant Bitmain, using the same manufacturer as Bitmain uses
