I think the 600W to 900W quote is a bit unrealistic yes. But I also think your 1.7W is a bit too much. That why i said i'd bet on 1w/ghs nominal and 1.3w overclocked or "to the wall". And yes this will be from the miners AMT ships, not demo's of course.
If you really want to make it interesting we could a .4w over/under 1.1w/ghs spread bet with a parlay for hashrate expectancy. What do you think?
He means he measures it "at the wall" socket using a Watt meter or kill-a-watt meter. Its the usual term, you are the one who is confused.
At the wall just means that is what the psu pulls from the wall socket compared to what the miner pulls from the PSU.
so my English is not native. To make it clear for you i am still taking bets if:

They have to make 900W like the picture above. Clarification black power cable which is connected to kilawatt should be cumming from AMT machine
And do belive me AMT is misleading you a lot about actual power consumption assuming their unit is doing 1.2T
I did not mean to offend regarding the literary correction, please don't take offense.
I don't think AMT meant to mislead, I also don't expect them to come in at 900W overclocked either. I do think they will hit 950W to 1100W range at nominal speeds and 1200W to 1400W overclocked.
If you can find a bet in there. I'll take it.
