Title: Canaan anounces Avalon A9, 30TH/s 1700w mining SHA256
Post by: AniceInovation on September 10, 2018, 03:50:27 AM
A bit surprised no one is talking about this. The best efficiency SHA256 miner to date from a company known to manufacture very reliable machines.
Price to be announced.

Wonder how will Bitmain respond to this?

Old news bro.


Bitmain will simply continue to destroy price by selling s9s cheaply.

They do not have a better item as of today.

How do you know that Bitmain doesnt have a better item?

Has Canaan suggested what the price will be of these A9's?

All major ASIC producers have orders for 7nm chips at TSMC. Bitmain has a massive order for 7nm chips but doesn't announce anything yet so they can get rid of old stock.
They are a VIP buyer at TSMC, they'll be the first bitcoin ASIC producer to get their orders fabricated, they'll be able to hit the market with 7nm ASICs before anyone else including Canaan.

Do you know it or are you just guessing? If you do know it, then how?

Wrong. They have yet to cut a working test wafer.

They lost a chip designer to whatsminer and simply have not made good new chips since he left.

They did cut a wafer that failed but my sources have told me they don’t have a successful test wafer of 7nm

As for canaan I know they have working 7nm chips.

I am pretty sure canaan is going to beat them to the market.

Only if they can get these out by Halloween/Thanksgiving.

They will be ready between Oct and Dec.

Really excited about the A9. Any spec on price?

For the umpteenth time - NO, pricing has not been announced yet.

I would think 1300 to 1600 I think they will beat the W10 price.

But it is only a guess

the Innosilicon T2turbo is 82 watts and 1700 after shipping
the whatsminer M10 is about 1900 after shipping

I think canaan will beat the prices above.

and I think bitmain will continue to sell cheap s9J gear

A9 makes the GMO B3 look like old technology already, and they haven't even shipped yet, correct?
I wonder what the next generation of Bitmain SHA256 miners will be like, and how it will affect the pricing of competition.

Hoping for closer to the $1000 price point but that's just me wishing.

Amen on that, would love to replace all of my s9's and 821's for 4 of these Avalon 9's.  Oh yeah, and almost double my output.

I have been turning off my 741s as they are loosing too much and replacing them with 841s, they still loose but almost even. With the specs for A9s I can get them into a Co Location space and really make a run at this. (-;
