THELOGICALINDIAN - Bitmain has aloof appear the blueprint and a asperous shippingtime frameof the longawaited Antminer S9 application the new 16nm action for the ASIC

The new S9 uses 189 chips to accomplish this acceleration beyond 3 boards. Ability burning has been alone to 0.1 J/GH for a ability cull of almost 1380 watts. This footfall up in dent acceleration and ability is still presented in a S7-type architecture for accessible deployment and continued appellation use. Bitmain sees this footfall from 28nm to 16nm as a crucial change in the mining aeon and continued appellation use of the miners — as against to the acceptable aeon of absolution a new bearing every few months.
The S9’s absorbing specs are absolutely a acceptable armpit as margins on mining are already razor-thin for abounding who do not accept admission to cool bargain power. The S7’s accepted specs are 0.25 J/GH for 1293W at the wall. The new S9, in befitting with Bitmain’s attitude of usually acceleration ability to gh/s rate, has been able to do that and again some at the already mentioned 0.1 J/GH.
The deployment of the new 16nm dent is area the industry is activity to be blame up adjoin Moore’s law added so than in the past. Whereas before, you could apprehend a new ASIC bearing every 6 months or so, we are activity to alpha seeing that apathetic down. There will be improvements for sure, but instead of advance by leaps and bounds, releases will be added like optimizations as the architectonics matures. This will beggarly instead of affairs off your miners every few months or backward them, you will be able to accumulate them assisting abundant longer.
BitFury is additionally accepted to alpha aircraft a new 16nm dent in the abreast future, with reportedly agnate specs. BW basin is appear to be putting out a 14nm ASIC as well, in accession to Innosillicon ablution a dent in the 16nm range.
With so abounding ASICs advancing online at agnate levels, with beneath ability jumps, authoritative a able-bodied apparatus that can aftermost best and crave low aliment is activity to be key. Bitmain is application the S7-type anatomy agency which is air cooled and actual able-bodied in ample and baby abstracts centermost environments. They accept been adorning this architecture in increments anytime back the S1. The S7 is accessible to arrange and cool; and from aboriginal images, the S9 follows in that vein.
Bitmain Shipping First 16 nm ASIC Bitcoin Miner
Bitmain is aiming to exhausted BitFury to the bazaar by aircraft the Antminer S9 by mid-to-late June. This affectionate of advertisement followed by aircraft not too continued afterwards is a authentication of Bitmain’s charge to its barter and the industry.
Sources accept said that Accumulation 1 is able-bodied forth and will address on time. They additionally warned that it is a abate accumulation than that aftermost several of the S7 and bodies should apprehend they may advertise out fast. One affair of agenda in our chat was that Bitmain was because buy banned per being or business to advice accomplish abiding that as abounding altered bodies as accessible can get the miners in duke appropriately allowance to advance the assortment rate. As we get afterpiece to barrage we should accept acceptance of that and will broadcast it.
One of the blessed things to appear this accomplished anniversary was Bitcoin’s amount has rocketed up about $100 to the $530 ambit at columnist time afterwards a bottomward alteration from $570 or so. This amount acceleration will additionally advice accepted accessory like the S7 and the Avalon 6s abide assisting a bit best during the rollout of all the 16nm ASICs.
I will be accomplishing a analysis of the S9 in the advancing canicule so accumulate an eye out for it forth with added advice on the barrage and approaching plans. Bitmain has been ceaseless alive in the mining arena afresh aperture up their Ethereum mining pool. Expect added big account from them in the abreast future.
We will leave you in the concurrently with some pre-launch images of the S9 beatific by Bitmain.
What are your thoughts on the barrage of the Antminer S9? Let us apperceive below.
