Just having a conversation with Baikalminers over skype.
I can confirm the following.
Appearance is like Giant A900
hashrate: 2000Mh/s
power consumption: 430W
Price 7000usd
I can confirm the following.

hashrate: 2000Mh/s
power consumption: 430W

So it is essentially 7 CUBEs in one device.
CUBE = 300 Mh/s with 40-80W for 1000 USD at release.
If this is true I am not very impressed...
Cube was 800$ at release
Even less impressed then
What doesn't make sense is comparing these two:
New Giant
2000Mh/s
430W??? But for which algo?
Price: 7000usd
or
(2) Quad-CUBES
2400Mh/s combined hashrate
440W combined for Qubit or worst case 600W combined for x11
Price: 6392usd combined
Seems like progress is going backwards, because you are paying for more for less hashrate with the new device to maybe save 200watts of power if that 430w is for x11???
So we have:
800$ for cube which is 300Mh and 75w (x11)
2400$ for giant A900 which is 900Mh and 217w (x11)
7000$ for new miner which is 2050Mh and 430w (we assume it x11)
Cube: 2.6$/1Mh/0.25w
GiantA900: 2.6$/1Mh/0.24w
New miner: 3.4$/1Mh/0.20w
We pay 0.8$ for 0.04w economy
It about 2 years(if you pay 0.1$ for electricity)
So it seems no progress in Hashrate and big progress in Baikal's greed
