Bitmain is teasing with the apparently quickly to be launched new Ethash miner known as Antminer E9 that’s alleged to offer 3 GH/s mining hashrate with 2556 Watts of energy utilization and 0.85 J/M energy effectivity. That is what they declare to be the equal of 32 RTX 3080 graphics playing cards and it roughly is by way of efficiency. So, the Antminer E9 goes to offer comparable efficiency to 32x Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU mining rig mining Ethereum with GPUs optimized for near 100 MH/s hashrate, however with energy utilization at nearly 1/3 of what the GPUs will want. Hopefully with a value that’s a lot much less in comparison with how a lot these video playing cards will price you presently, although there may be nonetheless no precise launch date or pricing info launched…
Bitmain nevertheless shouldn’t be the primary to improve their already outdated devoted Ethash miner, specifically the Bitmain Antminer E3 that has been round for ages. There are different opponents on the devoted ETH miners market, specifically Innosilicon and Linzhi. Innosilicon’s new ETH miner – the Innosilicon A11 is supposedly going to ship 2100 MH/s Ethash hashrate with simply 2300W of energy utilization, whereas the newcomer Linzhi and their Linzhi Phoenix ETH miner is supposedly able to 2600 MHS hashrate for Ethash with an influence utilization of 3000-3500W. So, Bitmain goes to be doing higher by way of efficiency and with decrease hashrate if the specs of their AntMiner E9 ETH miner finish as much as be proper on the spot. It is vitally doubtless nevertheless that the value may even be reflecting the higher hashrate and decrease energy utilization as nicely, so it may very well be dearer than the slower alternate options.
