The New Bitmain AntMiner R4
The AntMiner R4 is a new band of bitcoin ASIC miners aimed at the boilerplate consumer. This miner uses the new 16 nm ASIC, with a 8 th/s to 8.6 th/s assortment rate. A new cooling and administration architecture keeps the R4’s babble levels low, reportedly peaking about the 50 to 52 dB range. Bitmain says the R4’s new fan arrangement is aggressive by bashful air conditioning systems.
Bitmain has this to say about the fan design:
Bitmain, not missing the big picture, has additionally advised a new added able ambassador aimed at abbreviation latency:
The architecture of the case is additionally added compact, advancing with a amplitude that may authority a PSU. We will analysis this out during our review. This change in architecture is declared to abridge deployment for both home users and beyond abstracts centers.
Here’s the abounding blueprint account for the AntMiner R4:
-Hash Rate Power Ability 8.6TH/s (Variation of ±5% is expected) 0.1 J/GH 9% at the bank (with Bitmain’s APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)
-Power Consumption Noise akin 845W 9% at the bank (with Bitmain’s APW5 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp) 52dB (at an ambient temperature of 35°C)
-Chip abundance per assemblage Product admeasurement 126 x BM1387 515mm (L) x 100mm (W) x 222mm (H) Rated Voltage 11.60 ~13.00V Package admeasurement Operating Temperature Default
-Frequency 0°C to 40°C 600MHz Network Connection 610mm (L) x 215mm (W) x 340mm (H)
-Connection Type: Ethernet
BitMain Announces the APW5 PSU
In accession to the new mining rig, Bitmain has appear the APW5 PSU. The aggregation is appreciative of the unit’s architecture and achievement qualities, adage they accomplish the PSU fit for home, barn and abstracts centermost use.
According to Bitmain, the APW5 is able to run at both 2600 watts on 220v adeptness or 1300 watts on a 110v power. The adeptness to run on a abate adeptness agreement agency that home users after admission to 220v beakers can use the APW5.
Here is a account of the APW5’s full specs:
-DC Voltage Rated Current / Power (220V input): 2600W
-Rated Current / Power (110V input): 12.25V; 1300W
-Ripple & Noise Voltage Regulation: <1% <2% Source
– Regulation Output Load Regulation: <1% <1% Setup
-Rise Time Power off Protection Trip Time: <5S >10mS
-Interface Type Input Voltage Range 7pairs of 6pin PCIe connectors: 380mm breadth for anniversary PCI-E cable. 90-265V
-AC Current Range Starting Voltage: 10.5-16.5A 100-240V
-AC Frequency Range Power Factor: 47-63Hz >0.95(full load)
-Leakage Current Low-voltage Input: <1.5mA (220V 50Hz) 90-100V
AC Output Short Circuit Protection Output Overcurrent (220V input) Yes
216-255A Output Overcurrent (110V input) Overheat Protection 108-135A Yes
-Environment Conditions Operating Temperature: 20-60℃
-Operating Humidity: 20%-90% RH (non-condensing)
-Dimensions: Structure Weight 266mm*125mm*86mm 2.5Kg Cooling Forced-air Cooling When the temperature of the calefaction bore is college than 80 ℃, the fan runs at abounding speed.
The AntMiner R4, forth with the APW5, could be solid additions to Bitmain’s archive if they alive up to the listed specs and achievement numbers. By architecture a miner that can be acclimated both in-home and in a abstracts centermost environment, they accept potentially fabricated ASIC mining added attainable to a assorted set of customers.
We will be bringing an absolute analysis of both articles in the advancing canicule — putting Bitmain’s claims to the analysis by subjecting the R4 and APW5 to real-world benchmarks.
Do you anticipate the new Bitmain articles will alive up to expectations? Let us apperceive in the comments below!
