If the j/gh ratio is real, this is gonna be a game changer!  Grin

it wont be. guarenteed thats at the lowest voltage/frequency, and probably for just the chip (doesnt include regulator loss, PSU loss, other power draws like a controller/fan)

realisticlaly in a final product, this would probably range 0.28W-0.50W depending on settings (ie: similar to the Bitmain chip)

Agreed, looks extremely similar power consumption to the S5's chip on sha256 mode. The scrypt mode looks more appealing, and we don't yet know what we'll be able to do in dual mining modes. If its anything like the gen 1 chips then I don't think many people will dual mine.
The option is there to switch though which is nice and if they can get lower than the s5 Bitmain will finally have a reason to push out their next series, which I suspect is ready but they're just waiting.



I think they are ready or  were all most done when the S5 came out then they held off and upped the S5 price that one day, I'm willing to bet but Polly wrong but that other DEV was this one that bitmain was basing that S5 price increase on. and they were ready to go to a price warr if these hit .
