Got email from PandaMiner claiming they outperform E3

----------------------
Dear miners:

Now PandaMiner have made the price adjustment, the cost exceed the ASIC E3. According to the comparison:

One more point, we support delivery in 7 working days, while E3 requires 3 month. Miners can gain a lot of mining profits during 3 month.

Price: $2508 per unit(PSU and shipping cost included)
Model：PandaMiner B3 Pro
GPU: AMD RX 470*8 cards
Delivery: 7 working days
Limited amount: 1000 units

Do not buy panda miners. They didn't tell you about the HIGHER power consumption.

That panda miner consumes about 1300W while bitmain's E3 consumes only 800W (and maybe even less when it is actually shipped). There is no logic at all in buying more expensive hardware that earns less money.

I don't think it is wise to buy either of the miners. Either they will be forked out or the companies will delivery defective & used equipment as they frequently do.

Either way, the power consumption on 470s vs even just spending that money on 580 cards, a mobo/cpu/psu/ram, and risers? I'd go the latter every time, my 580s get the same hashrate as the E3 is advertised to and clocks in at about 720W +/- 10%...
