Title: Bitmain BM1397 2nd-Gen 7nm Chip Post by: sarcheer on February 18, 2019, 01:52:20 PM Bitmain has announced that they have developed their 2nd-gen 7nm chip, operating at an efficiency of 30J/TH. Link to blog post: https://blog.bitmain.com/en/bitmain-announces-next-generation-7nm-asic-chip-for-sha256-mining-delivering-breakthrough-energy-efficiency/
A 28.6% jump in claimed efficiency is huge if this turns out to be true. Title: Re: Bitmain BM1397 2nd-Gen 7nm Chip Post by: fanatic26_ on February 18, 2019, 04:44:33 PM Well thats a bit of a surprise, thats a massive leap in efficiency. I am looking forward to seeing that chip in action.
Title: Re: Bitmain BM1397 2nd-Gen 7nm Chip Post by: philipma1957 on February 18, 2019, 05:15:11 PM puts me on hold for buying. since it could do 40watts a th on low and 50 watts a th on high.
It would make me not want to fully go to m10's I am mostly m10's and s9's much smaller then you but still growing in solar power. 100kwatt array 300kwatt array may be doing a 500kwatt array soon. Title: Re: Bitmain BM1397 2nd-Gen 7nm Chip Post by: sarcheer on February 18, 2019, 06:15:58 PM I'm definitely holding off. I was on the verge of swapping out all of my T1's / 821's for T15's / S15's but when(if?) the release of these 2nd-gen comes about the prices for these will drop considerably. Don't want to pay 1k for something I could pay 400 for in a few months.
