what i think an antminer s7 would be:
5.58THs to 4.68THs
power under 1500watts
price 825 to 975
just my two cents
nah, what you described is more like S8 or S7+
S7: 2300-2700 TH, 505-595W in a small form factor. It is much easier to dissipate that much heat vs 1500W
however, it would throw a wrench into plans of many if it would require three separate PCIe connectors with each more than 200W as per S5+ design.
It would mean that Corsair 750 workhorse is a no go.
I would agree more if the S5+ is or was the S6 makes sense that the S7 is for everyone would be more in line around 2.2 th or a tad higher if it is 230 watts per TH that's what maybe 500 watts tops or a tad hgiher as you said , at defaults then goes from there . it would make better sense to have it run on a 110 to 220 line depending on the PSU .
Price it at or like the S3 S5 etc ...that way every one stays happy including them .
if it goes this way i some how see the S8 using less power and more speed if it's a new chip by then .
this is what i hope, they would be unwise to make something that cant run off one psu and is fairly quiet..
not everyone wants to buy something that needs 4 or 5 large psus, and has 8 fans running 5000 rpms.
