Bitmain has updated their site. The AntRouter test is gone, and they've added batch 2 and 3 of the S7.

Interesting that batch 2 is 4.66TH/s for $1585 and batch 2 is 4.86TH/s for $1658. Both ship in the same date range.

So I guess you pay a little more for better performance? Have they ever done that before?

In the past separate batches would have separate ship date ranges, not slightly different specs.

I just wish they'd ship the rest of batch 1. Still waiting for my second order from Sept 5.

I also noticed that and am going through the pages to try to find an explanation...
Maybe it will just come clocked higher? Or its a "v1.1" that has more efficient hardware/software support?

I noticed a separate part of this, both miners were added around the same date and are both shipped on exactly the same date. (Assumeably not a coincidence!). I also noticed that the previous s7 was 8.something btc and the new one is 7.01 btc! WHY THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE SAME ENERGY.

I SEE THEY ARE ALSO STILL SELLING THE POWER SUPPLY SEPARATELY (why are they doing this).

For people, like me that already have a PSU or for people that can't run 240v, since their PSU does not run on 120v.

For the price difference, the difference between batch 1 and 2/3 is big, but Bitmain will probably reply "such is the nature of the Bitcoin industry" if you received your miner on time or "Here's a little something for the delay." if not.

For the difference between Batch 2 and 3. I think batch 2 is the lesser unit that didn't pass the QC as they can't run 600 hz stable. They have been downclocked to 575hz.
