Any differences between T9 and S9?

Power Consumption:

T9 1450W 11.5TH/s
S9 1078W 11TH/s (Batch 22)

The big difference for me.

It's 1450W +7% it's not +/-

That's 1550W! with the 7% factored in.

I'm sorry but this looks like bitmain trying to create a new product that increases profit margins to capitalize on the recent increases in BTC value.

The sad truth here is, people will probably buy this crap.

My guess here is they finally fixed the S9 problems and instead of continuing to post fake specs about the power usage and capability, they are going with actual specs this time. I don't own an S9 so this is just speculation based upon what I've read about people complaining about the S9.

Also if they did fix a design issue with the S9, owners would be clamoring for replacements. Bitmain Solution: Create the T9 and move away from the bad like Microsoft did with Windows 8.
