A set of pictures tells you: What a professional Bitcoin mining machine looks like

It has been nearly ten years since Bitcoin was invented. In the early years when Bitcoin's value had not yet been discovered, people mostly used graphics card mining machines to mine. Professional Bitcoin mining machines are only a kind of mining artifact that has appeared in recent years. In the big wave of Bitcoin market last year, mining machines were extremely popular and mostly sold in the form of futures, so they were shrouded in mystery. What does a professional mining machine look like and what is its internal structure? I believe that even many experienced DIY players have never seen a professional mining machine. Today, we will unveil the mysterious veil of Bitcoin for you through a set of pictures.

It has been nearly ten years since Bitcoin was invented. In the early years when Bitcoin’s value had not yet been discovered, people mostly used graphics card mining machines to mine. Professional Bitcoin mining machines are only a kind of mining artifact that has appeared in recent years.

During last year's Bitcoin boom, mining machines were shrouded in mystery because they were extremely popular and mostly sold in the form of futures.

What does a professional mining machine look like and what is its internal structure? I believe that even many experienced DIY players have never seen a professional mining machine. Today we will unveil the mysterious veil of Bitcoin for you through a set of pictures.

In fact, the structure of the mining machine itself is not complicated. For example, the Avalon mining machine A841 encapsulates 104 such chips in a tin box, and then provides power supply and heat dissipation to enable them to operate stably.

ASIC mining machine is an ASIC chip cluster with power supply and heat dissipation. ASIC chip can only perform SHA256 hash value calculation, which is more efficient. Therefore, the chip design of ASIC mining machine is relatively simple and the cost is lower than that of GPU chip. Because it does not need complex logic control and other functions, its own power consumption is also much lower than that of GPU chip.

The Avalon mining machine A841 uses the latest Avalon A8 series chips, with a rated computing power of 13TH/S (-5% to +10%), which is amazing.

The computing power of professional ASIC mining machines is tens of thousands of times higher than that of the flagship graphics card GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Therefore, in front of professional mining machines, graphics card mining machines have been officially eliminated.

This is the key to mining machines, ASIC chips. The A8 series chips developed by Canaan Creative use advanced 16nm technology, which can bring better mining efficiency and lower power consumption.

The reduction in cost and power consumption, as well as the improvement in the computing power of dedicated chips, have made ASIC mining machines more efficient than GPUs. For mining profits, the two most important factors are computing power and power consumption, and in many cases, power consumption is even more important than computing power.
