Looks to me like the end of a lot of small mining ops.

It is 3 phase power which is more industrial than 240.
I wish specs got released.

10 k-watts and 500th each?

or 18 k-watts and 1 ph each?

In the pics I see 4 units in a rack with 4 PSU's per unit and 12 boards.

Lets assume boards are comparable to the S19 Pro -> 37 TH/s at 1050 watts each.
444 TH/s and 12,6 kW
total rack about 1.78 PH/s at 50 kW per rack
50kW is already achieved in HPC clusters with watercooling, so that sounds plausible...

Sounds great, hopefully the cost is acceptable

As I said in my post above..from an economy of scale situation...big miners in China will just kill on this.

No Tariff. 2c-4c kWh electric. Less space (water-cooled). Hot swapping would allow you to mix and match pow algo modules by day..in other words

you could mix-match 5mh (say they are older) BTC modules (or hell they could be cards within a module) and say newer 4nm ETH or someday etc modules

with hot swapping by the day/couple days/week vs profitability.

Bitmain will of course mine the hell out of any POW (you pick BTC/ETH/LTC) or whatever to the max 3 months ahead of pre-order sales of such with a

release of 3 months after that ..tis, how they roll...

I suspect the price will be attractive (like plug and play big boy toys...antboxes) to huge big miners in china etc...will pretty much IMHO be the death bell for midsized

or small data halls for the rest of the world, IMHO. Too much capital to invest to get these up...only maybe big data halls playtoys.

Again, I think if you want to toss around $50k for a fully built antrack of your configuration not counting the building and water-cooling setups

you will kill in china on these..in say texas at 4-6c kWh..meh...not sure how you would migrate if you already got on the s19 bandwagon

but sure offers a lot more profit options vs stand-alone units on top of 2-4c kWh for the China Miners vs the rest of the world.

Bitmain: We Do Evil Well! (tm Bitmain)

anyway, re-looked above, most of you have seen Bitmain antics 2x to 3x along these lines before. I also will bet my own $$$ again, that

the antrack concept will be where ALL pow miner makers go now...including water-cooling etc, it just makes to much sense to get the big

dollar folk to play. Also, as Bitmain also states...works in nicely with there 'supposed' everyone cloud mining dream you can buy into in the future (not)

but that is the hopem there they are pushing also besides above antrack.

The data hall that spent 16 million in Texas for s19s must be kicking themselves (unless they are getting them sooner than Januay 2021 pre-orders)

I think Texas.
