Batch 8
Speed:    4.73TH/S
Weight:    4.5 kg
Price:       4.73 BTC  ( 1792.2 USD )



So am I right in thinking all doing to get better results is tweak the clock speeds however how did they produce 5TH in Batch 7? and now looking at batch 8 is faster memery speed used but less hash output that dont make sense.

Would like to buy but still at the prices maybe S8 will be less in cost or will have a better ratio at power used.
Bitmain's price on these will (have to) drop significantly over the next few months; both the USD price and the BTC price. There're only 8 months left before the block reward halving and the value of an S7 continuously drops as the weeks pass. We already know that pcfli is ordering S7's for $1150USD for January 20 delivery which is a good clue where to expect the near-term public price to head.

With the recent run up on BTC exchange, the current Batch 8 pricing is unattractive, compounded by it being one of the less energy efficient S7 batches.
