Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382
there is zero chance these will be less than $1000 US. bet.
I don't think there is zero chance, but I do get that they would be significantly undercutting their S2 product. In that case they would either deeply discount the remaining S2 stock or else they are already nearly out of stock on them. By pre-announcing the S3 I suspect their S2 stock is low.
Don't forget about the upgrade options for both S1 and S2 owners. Several owners may go in this direction instead of the S3, so Bitmain's thought this one through.
Alot of people may get to the Antminer S2 + upgrade kit to get to 2 TH/s...alot of possibilities for every owner, S1 through S3.
And the S4 is still coming at some point....
