Re: Bitmain E3 Ethash Miner ASIC (Shipping:16-31 July. $800 USD)
I think the E3 uses 16 x BM1680 Neuralprcessing Chips and one Asic or FPGA for the controlling.
But I hope it´s a multi-gpu-system with HDMI and a PCI-E-Plug, also usable for gaming and VR.
...could have more power compared to Vega-cards !
(12 x RX550) vs Vega:
Memory bandwith: Vega: 500.000 MB/s --- E3?: 1.380.000 (115.000x12)
Compute Units: Vega: 4096 --- E3?: 6144 (512x12)
TPU´s: Vega: 256 --- E3?: 384 (32x12)
ROP´s: Vega: 64 --- E3?: 192 (16x12)
they wont be doing gaming GPUs for this so ROPs and TMUs are useless for miningBut I hope it´s a multi-gpu-system with HDMI and a PCI-E-Plug, also usable for gaming and VR.

and AMD hasnt licensed them or sold any chips have they? plus per rma requirements assuming 4GB per GPU they would be 18 GPUs...
The GPU market is huge.
I think Bitmain can buy an GPU IP-Core and make own chips and PCB´s ... AMD RX550 is only an example, I know, more CU´s and a GDDR3 memory is better for mining
All is hypothetically ! But I would do it.
