Verdict

Run the numbers across every spec and the NerdAxe edges it: 4 of 6 factors go its way (efficiency, power consumption, home mining score, noise level). Where it pulls away hardest is 99% better power draw (12.0 vs 2,100.0 W). That said, the Innosilicon T3 43T isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins hashrate and price-performance. Cross-check the spec deltas and ROI table above against your own electricity rate before deciding.

Winner: NerdAxe — wins on 4 of 6 factors
