hmmm... interesting thread.
Sorry, i don't mean to angrily bash your product even before it came out. I understand that production costs are productions costs and you want to avoid selling at a loss like SP did with the SP20.
I'm just struggling to understand the pricing scheme.
Miner manufactures just sell the rigs at the highest price which can make most of the money.
In China, a fair price for this stage of instock rigs (~0.25-0.3W/Ghs) is ~ 2200RMB/Ths, it's about 345$/Ths. exclude of shipping. By this price, you can sell as many as you want of them. So...

QUESTION can this be down clocked and under volted like the 4.1?
downclock: certainly
voltage: this is a string design...
I see, thanks for your replies, it does make sense, since in the end, it does not matter what is profitable to me, its about whats profitable for others. Thus it make sense for the miners to be so expensive if in China they can be bought out easily at 345$/TH/s.
For your second replies, you seem to mean it is not very prone to being undervolted because it is a string design. However it is possible to down volt the S5 by using 9-11v PSU's.
Is it simply not supported by the chips?
In China, I think most of the buyers now have nearly free electricity. So they can have profit much easier. I think this is why mining rigs' price are higher than you guys think.
About under voltage, the marking of "11.8-12.2V" means this miner will have a 3.65T (+- 10%) of the performance, we test it under this voltage. You can run it under a 11V PSU, and will get a better efficiency performance but slower speed. The hardware and software is fully support this case. but I think the lowest voltage is ~10V.

Thanks for the reply. Such mean of undervolting is going to be of great interest for certain people.
It means that when your hardware will be "obsolete" in the future, when new gen miners do under 0.1J-0.14/GH, it will be possible to continue using the Avalon6 for some while longer at good profitability.
Therefore your Avalon6 gain a bit more value in the eyes of the "min/maxers" of Bitcoin mining.
