my thoughts are this is bitfury putting the 175ph to 225 ph farm online it is a 50 Mega-Watt farm and it is real. SO unless it burns to the ground due to bad wiring we will get a 20% or more jump.
But there is an interesting thing before new gear back in sept we had 405ph all at .5 watts or worse.
It will go offline if price does not move over 500 usd.
An s-3 loses money at 500 gh 400 watts at 10 cents a kwatt at a diff of 101 with the current price of 457 so the s-3 will give up the ghost next jump.
there was about 60ph in s-3's
So when the gets over 100 diff which it will by years end older gear will drop off.
How do you know they sold 133,333 Antminer S3's ? Seems like it would take a really really long time to produce that many S3.
I know they did quite a bit of them. I tracked sales at the addresses they used for payments. And remember they sold at pretty low prices for a while.
They were a big improvement over the s-1 and the s-1 sold 20ph worth of units.

I did a break down on them but I can't remember how well they sold.
