Bitmain's monopoly on bitcoin miners will come to an end if this is legit.
Looking at the specs its not a big leap away from the antminer s9 but still, its has a higher hashrate, and supposedly cooler and more power efficient.
Based on advertised specs tho, isn't the antminer still more power efficient?
Summary specs for easy reference:
Dragonmint Miner
Hashrate: 16 T
Consumption: ~1450 watts
Efficiency: ~90 watts per 1 TH
Antminer S9
Hashrate: 14 T
Consumption: ~1200 watts
Efficiency: ~85 watts per 1 TH

Producing miners from scratch takes around 4 months including manufacturing the silicon chips. We are taking preorders for the next generation miner for delivery starting in March 2018.

I know of 2 other companies that will be releaseing info on their new miners in January. Let the mining arms race begin!
I have proposed them with doing a thorough review here at the forum. 
Let's see if I can buy a demo unit.
