Just saw this new post on a Chinese site. So, what's the deal with the V9? Is this a new bitcoin miner?
Here are some specs: Chip is 135 with BM1580, and it uses about 1027 watts.

Yep, 4Th at ~1000W shipping April to May for around $335 USD. I'd be interested in one of these if they brought em to the US site. Apparently 80% will be shipped April and 20% in May.
On a side note, I haven't seen a miner sell for this cheap in a very long time from Bitmain. Seems to be a simple S7 underclock and they're trying to dump their existing miners.

WOW.. this is S7 underclock.

Yeah, I don't see this as a special miner either but rather Bitmain trying to sell off their S7s in their mining warehouses as mining becomes less profitable. Shitmain at work.

S7 at 4TH for 1000W? Huh, that sounds oddly familiar. Wonder where they got the idea.
Looks like bitmain is cleaning house. I wonder if they're just shutting down mining at least in China, making room for new technology, or what.
Link no longer works?
You need to be at the Chinese webshop for the link to work properly.
Those specifications are quite unclear.
BM1580 chip?
Thanks got it now. Wonder if it till pop up on the ENG webpage soon
Eastshore.xyz currently has them listed.
$599 for March
$499 for April
Seriously who will buy such a crap?
Anyone who is for some reason looking at buying an s7 on ebay/amazon...that's about it.
Or someone that don't have 2k$ and need a heater space
I know, right? Now if they would only push it to 4.3TH at just under 1100w, then they might be on to something!

You know, I've still got one of those 3.7TH/900W ones running around. Some chump idiot gentleman had originally bought it and then threw a fit that it wouldn't run stock speed so he sent it back. And then someone else asked for it but never paid.

I think we are about to get new hardware with far better performance. J/gh
It is out on the Bitmain site for March shipping
https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201802051016159150g4OS2hk0661
Unit price: $345 and MOQ: 5
Meaning you spend $1725 individually. Of course, there's no information on the new chip's reliability or performance. But if we are to believe their stats, one 5 quantity batch would produce more hashrate combined and is cheaper than a single S9, albeit the tremendous noise and electricity guzzling.
Meh, I would say to wait for the S9 fire sale when the newer, efficient one is released (will Samsung get to it) and you can't afford/risk it.

Umm, has anyone actually read bitmains page on this.. no where does it state what algo it does... so where did people come up with that sha256?
I guess they know what they´re selling.. so this is Sha256 and that means... crap

You can find miner here: https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020180202105823805HM8v8gSy069D
Its located on Chinese web page. But there is no written which algorithm is.
Bitmain announced on twitter that they are selling Bitcoin Miner(mentioned one) here: http://prntscr.com/ibac3c https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/961166562118975488
Since its "Bitcoin Miner" you can use your brain and conclude that its Algorithm is SHA256.
But those number TBH look pretty heave...5KW for 20TH...pricey...
