Not sure I would bother with halving so close to happening and how long shipping would take. But yeah it's here and on Bitmains site. It is using the new 16nm chipset though so it is their next gen. Oh yeah almost forgot the price. Price: 2100 USD or 3.92 BTC

ANTMINER S9 First Batch - Shipping starts from 12 June

S9 Specifications:

1. Hash Rate: 14.0TH/s ±5%

2. Power Consumption: 1375W + 7% (at the wall, with APW3 ,93% efficiency, 25C ambient temp)

3. Power Efficiency: 0.098 J/GH + 7%(at the wall, with APW3 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)

4. Rated Voltage: 11.60 ~13.00V

5. Chip quantity per unit: 189x BM1387

6. Dimensions: 350mm(L)*135mm(W)*158mm(H)

7. Cooling: 2x 12038 fan

8. Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C

9. Network Connection: Ethernet

10. Default Frequency: 650M

I thought that the price is $1k plus not 2k+ ..
The voltage and the power consumption is a little bit near in s7.. did you try s9 how about the noises??

No one has a clue on the noise factor seeing as Shipping starts from 12 June. My guess is it will be the same, the picture of the machine looks like they stuck with the same exact fans as the S7. If you have issues with that you could always go ahead and get a Quieter fan from someone like Noctua, which is what I had to do when I had my S5 running.

I do wish these companies would realize it is 2016 and add Wi-Fi ability to their machines as well, I mean hell even just add the ability to add a USB Wi-Fi Dongle for christs sake, would make placement of the miners so much easier for those who mine at home and don't have a giant factory with Internet and decent cooling.
