wow a huge amount of gear going online in August big mining is bullish as fuck
Same old story: Antminer announced their new beast, but they are not shipping. Suddenly, difficulty rises, and when you get your miner, it’s already worth 30% less.
yeah but they are doing something a bit different.
I have only s21xp which do just under 13 watts in cool weather.
the new s23 claims 11.5 watts and 1.5/13=0.115 a 11.5% improvement
these are the air cooled models this improvement is the worst they have ever offered.
last time the s19xp did 21 watts in good weather
and the s21 claimed 17.5
so 3.5/21= a 16.7% improvement
The only reason they can list a really nice number is if you get a liquid cooled model (9.5 watts) and they are neglecting to explain
new transformer needed
new pdu needed
new external radiator needed.
Cost is almost 2x that of the 21xp and it will take 2 to 3 years to pay off the infrastructure needed to get the 9.5 watts claimed.
if you stick with air cooled you do not need to change anything at all
I am thinking this is the worst new generation of miners they ever made.
Should be interesting to see if they will need to drop the price a ton on the s23 air cooled to sell it.
