It was just a link to a youtube vid of the test at the enviromental lab. I emailed it to Matti.
its on my youtube channel.
Finalizing pricing now. It's rather difficult because most of the pricing is done on a RMB per TH basis in china. Irrespective of efficiency.
In short, the domestic market doesnt care about efficiency that much.
Lets compare:
38 TH @ 2500 watts .065J/GH @ 3 cent power = $5.79 per day 2 years = 4226
31 TH @ 1800 watts .058J/GH @ 3 cent power = $4.89 per day. 2 years = 3569
Same machine: same cost. and everyone sells on RMB per TH.. well which performance do you pick to price it?
Now compare M10
33 TH @ 1850 Watts .056 J/GH @ 3 cent power = $5.26 Per day 2 years = 3839
Now compare
33 TH @ 1850 Watts .056 J/GH @ 6 cent power = $3.93 Per day 2 years = 2868
38 TH @ 2500 watts .065J/GH @ 6 cent power = $3.99 per day 2 years = 2912
Of course guys here know how to do this math. The math on having a reliable system is harder. The math on how many machines actually deliver the promised spec ( or higher) is also harder to estimate. The math on reducing your number of network connections because of daisy changing is probably easier.
So, its trivally true that the lower your power price the more likely you are to trade efficiecny for hash rate. The vast major of huge customers are below 6 cents, all in. So they have to look at all the various modes the machine can run in. After seeing what Phillip was doing, I kinda pressed on engineering to make on the fly frequency changes a lot easier. There is STILL a long way to go on what I would call proper specifications for systems: in particular I would like to see independent lab testing of machines and like to finally publish some hard data on how performance changes as a function of temperature. Who knows with a built in neural net asic maybe somebody will discover that the machine can learn to control itself. The clock cores already adaptively adjust their clock rate as a function of DH.
Any way, a few other updates. machines will probably be built in a mix of with PSU and W/O PSU. You can run the machine with an integrated PSU ( it has voltage control over I2C) or just attach your own PSU. And if you get it with the integrated PSU you can always switch it.
Price on the website is just a stand in price. It will be below that once we start taking orders. While we have a bunch of machines in test, Lily and I want to get test results from the first Trial run. You should see those system hit the pool any day now.
