A comprehensive review of the new generation of Bitcoin mining machines: from mass production of 7nm chips to mining TVs

The Bitcoin mining industry is highly competitive. In the past few years, the industry has grown rapidly. In just nine months, a large number of mining machine manufacturers have been added, such as GMO Group, Halong Mining, and Ebang. In addition, there is a new face that cooperates with Samsung's semiconductor foundry. This company, Innosilicon, launched the Terminator 2 Turbo mining machine, which has increased its computing power to 24TH/second.

Ebit E10 Miner

Recently, the competition in the mining machine manufacturing industry has become increasingly fierce, and a large number of new mining machines with faster chips have been launched. For example, Ebang's Ebit E10 mining machine can mine SHA-256 algorithm currencies. It exclusively launched a 10nm chip last year. The E10 has a computing power of up to 18 TH/S. From a performance perspective, it surpassed all Bitcoin mining machines on the market at the time. In addition, its energy consumption has been reduced to 1650 watts. However, this mining machine has been sold out and can only be bought on the secondary market.

DragonMint T1 Miner

Last year, Halong Mining, which was backed by Bitcoin developer BtcDrak, made waves in the mining field. The DragonMint 16T mining machine released by the company is equipped with a 10nm chip, with a computing power of 16TH/second, and greatly improved mining efficiency. More importantly, the company has also finalized a cooperation with Samsung, and the technology giant will produce ASIC chips for them. However, so far, this batch of mining machines has been sold out.

Terminator 2 Turbo Miner

Innosilicon, a Hong Kong-based company, has developed a more efficient SHA-256 ASIC miner that achieves a mining power of 24TH/second through Samsung's low-energy semiconductor technology. Earlier, the company was also found to have shipped the initial model of Terminator 2 to the United States via four containers, with Bitcoin technology company Blockstream as the recipient.

The Hong Kong company said: Currently, a large number of miners are using Innosilicon's Bitcoin mining machine Terminator 2, which has a computing power of 17.2TH/second and an energy consumption of 1,430 watts.

The latest upgraded version of the miner, the T2-Turbo, has increased its performance to 24TH/second. In low-power mode, the miner consumes as little as 75 watts/TH, which is 30% less than similar competing products on the market.

GMO Group’s B3 Miner

Although the 24TH/second hashrate is very competitive, the Terminator 2 Turbo is still not the most efficient miner in the world. Last month, the B3 miner announced by GMO Group had a hashrate of 33TH/second, which far surpassed the T2-Turbo and other miners. In addition, the company's 7-nanometer chip has been developed and is expected to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of this year.

Canaan Creative's new mining machine

Yesterday, Canaan Creative held the world's first 7-nanometer chip mass production conference. The mining machine manufacturer from Hangzhou introduced four new mining machines at the conference, among which AvalonMiner A9 is a Bitcoin mining machine equipped with a 7-nanometer chip, with a total computing power of 26.5T to 30T and a power consumption of 1720W.

What is more noteworthy is that two mining appliances were also unveiled at the event: blockchain TV and heater. Mining idle appliances has always been a focus of attention in the mining field. This can effectively prevent energy waste and promote the development of the mining industry. Canaan Creative has taken the lead in achieving a breakthrough in this way, which is indeed very meaningful.
