Bitmain Announced Two New Antminer 17 Series ASIC Miners

9, Oct 2019

Bitmain has just announced two new Bitcoin ASIC miners with improved power efficiency and hashrate – Antminer S17+ and T17+ at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Frankfurt today. The Antminer S17+ has a hash rate of 73 TH/s and operates with a power efficiency of 40 J/TH + 10%, while the T17+ offers a hash rate of 64 TH/s and a power efficiency of 50 J/TH + 10%. The Antminer S17+ and T17+ ​will be available for sale on Bitmain’s official website according to the following timing: pre-sales starting on 11 October 2019, 19:00 GMT+8 and deliveries starting sometime in the 01- 10 December 2019 timeframe. Pricing has not yet been revealed as well as detailed specifications, but they should become clear when the devices are listed for sale in 2 days time. The currently available Bitmain Antminer S17 is 53 TH/s hashrate with 45 J/TH efficiency (2385W) priced at $2322 USD for the next batch and the Bitmain Antminer T17 is 40 TH/s hashrate with 55 J/TH efficiency (2090W) priced at $951 USD for the next batch.

By using dual tube heat dissipation technology, the miners have been designed so that the space between the air inlet to the air outlet has been reduced by 50%, improving heat dissipation effectively as well as reducing fan noise. Besides, a high temperature and fan abnormal protection mechanism has been built in to ensure the stable and safe operation of the miners. Both Antminer S17+ and T17+ use the industry leading Exposed Die package solution and an optimized all-in-one design, making the models easily to be implemented and can adapt to mining farms of different sizes.

Bitmain Announced Their First 7nm ASIC Chip, Soon in Miners

24, Sep 2018

Bitmain has finally announced their next generation of ASIC chips that are based on 7nm Finfet technology called BM1391 for the SHA256 algorithm, these chips will power the next generation of Bitcoin ASIC miners coming from the company. The new BM1391 chips integrate more than a billion transistors and are optimized for maximum efficiency according to the company and can achieve a ratio of energy consumption to the mining capacity that is as low as 42 J/TH. Bitmain was dominating the Bitcoin mining market with their Antminer S9 in terms of hashrate and units shipped, but they started losing in terms of performance and efficiency lately due to the fact that the competition was adopting new production technologies and making further optimizations to get higher hashrates. We’ll see if Bitmain will be able to get back in the game with their next generation ASIC miners using the new chips…
