Question about hash rates (lemmy.world)

So, I'm looking to upgrade some old at-home miners, and i saw this flu miner that just came out. It is marketed as highly efficient.

https://fluminer.com/en/product_detail.aspx?cid=390&id=50

It's almost 3 grand for 6 GH/s, but it eats 1700w of power. I have a an avalon q, which eats 1800+ watts at high power and gets 90 TH/s. Isn't that better? I thought it went from kilo -> mega -> giga -> tera. So, what am I missing here? How is the flu more efficient?

The fluminer is marketed as efficient, but if I am getting an order of magnitude less hashes for only 100 w savings, that doesn't seem efficient. I see that it uses the Scrypt algorithm, but does that really make that much of a difference than the SHA-256?

I pool mine with the unmineable pool, so it would seem more hashes = more coin.

That article says nothing about it being more efficient than your current one. It just claims to be “highly efficient” which can be entirely speculative.

Alternatively, theyre just lying.

Sorry. Changed from more to highly
