MicroBT has announced their latest Bitcoin ASIC miner models – WhatsMiner M30S+ capable of 100 THS and WhatsMiner M30S++ capable of 112 THS, bringing strong competition to the already announced earlier this year AntMiner S19 and s19 Pro from Bitmain as far as hashrate and power efficiency is concerned. The 100 THS WhatsMiner M30S+ is supposed to be offering 34 J/THS power ratio with 3400 Watts of power usage, while the higher priced and better in terms of hashrate ad efficiency model with 112 THS WhatsMiner M30S++ is rated at 31 J/THS with 3472 Watts of power usage. It is most definitely good to have competition in Bitcoin ASIC mining, as otherwise things are not good when a single entity has control over most of the mining hardware being offered on the market for sale, fortunately Bitmain has long lost their market domination and we have a decent level of competition.
Both new miners from MicroBT are listed on their website already and are supposedly shipping, but are already sold out. The M30S+ is priced at $2740 USD and the M30S++ is $3900 USD wit deliveries starting it two weeks for the first orders. These prices are higher than what Bitmain is selling their S19 lineup, however they currently are selling miners for June delivery, so it is normal for the price to get lower for pre-orders that can be delivered in more than a month or even two from now. Do not forget that in less than a month there will be a Bitcoin halving meaning that by the time you get these miners delivered their efficiency in terms of Bitcoin mining will most likely be the half of what they are currently capable of mining.

Bitmain has announced their new Antminer S19 series of SHA256 Bitcoin ASIC miners, though only specifications for now, no price and availability info. The Antminer S19 has 2 variants, a 95 TH/s and 90 TH/s model, with a power efficiency of 34.5 J/TH and the Antminer S19 Pro has a 110 TH/s and 105 TH/s model, both with a power efficiency of 29.5 J/TH. Both series come with a built-in power supply and are rated at 3250 Watts of power usage at the wall utilizing the new APW12 high-conversion efficiency power supply.
Bitmain is trying to up their game with the Bitcoin halving nearing, though the new ASIC miners will most likely be available for delivery soon before or right after the halving, especially with the current situation in China regarding the coronavirus (covid-19). There are already some numbers regarding the price around $5000 USD per unit for the Pro coming from Hashnest (owned by Bitmain), who already list the 110TH/s Antminer S19 Pro as available for rent, though nothing is yet confirmed as final price for the units that will go for sale and when hey will be available for delivery. Anyway, still good to see that BTC ASIC miners’ efficiency can be further improved with optimizations and new technology…
Canaan Creative has announced heir second generation 7nm AvalonMiner ASIC – the A10 that should be capable of delivering 31 THS SHA256 hashrate with 1736W of power usage (56 W/THS energy efficiency). The 30 THS efficiency with 1700 Watts of power usage was supposed to be delivered last year with the announcement of the first 7nm ASIC miner – the Canaan Avalon A9, however the first generation 7nm hardware was not able to deliver what was promised. Not to mention it came at a bad time for the mining and crypto in general – a declining profit and the whole crypto market going down, so the demand for the new devices was really low. Instead of 30 THS, the AvalonMiner A921 was only capable of delivering 20 THS at 1700W of power usage, so the new 2nd gen A10 devices should finally be able to deliver that level of power efficiency. No word yet on pricing and exact availability dates, the official website still does not list the new devices and Canaan is talking about March availability and they just made the announcement at the end of the month, so we should wait a bit more for additional details…
