= 22680 boards (assuming 100% occupancy on all racks/rows as shown in close pics)

So if each board is like the batch 3 product boards then they should be apparently 750 GH/s each

So 22680 * 750 GH/s = 17010000 GH/s = 17010 TH/s = 17.0 PH/s

The current total network hashrate estimate is: 55.5 PH/s (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty)

So following the assumptions I've made for these calculations, this room would accommodate 30.6% of the total network's hashrate.

Please don't get shitty at KnC only based on my back of the napkin estimations.

Hate to point out an error but as batch 3 products typically consist of 4boards each, every board has ~187 maximum potential hashrate.

Thus total hashrate would be 22680 *187GH/s = 4252TH/s = 4,252PH/s

This would put them to a ~5.2MW power draw, assuming some minor improvements.
This model is in line with the fact that their datacenter is, i think, a 10MW facility.


On a different note though, producing these already designed ASICS including assembly etc. can´t have cost KnC more than 1$ per GH/s (it is propably a good amount lower).
So anyone converting their order into cloudhosting by KnC is just handing them atleast a 7k profit per order for outdated tech and hosting service.
