Re: [2018-02-12]Bitmain To Release Ethereum ASIC Miner F3 With 72Gb DDR3 Dram In Q2
Turns out the Bitmain E3 (NOT the F3 as reported) is not exactly a big GPU mining killer.
180 Mhash
800 watts
About the the SAME performance as a well-tuned 6 card RX 580/480 based rig, and slightly INFERIOR to a well-tuned 6-card GTX 1070 based rig.

My tuned RX 580 Special Edition GPU mine at 31 MH\s while consuming below 90 Watts
They have 2 years warranty not 6 months
They come from very well established "ÄMD" provider not from a shady one
You can buy the GPUs from a local shop and return it to the same local shop to swap it for a new GPU in case something goes wrong
You can buy it TODAY, you dont have to wait for 4 to 6 months
I dont see personalty ANY advantage for those called ASICs
They are just a punch of cheap memory chips, they are not really ASICs
One last thing,
You can also play games on a GPU
