I am talking about how sony re releases their playstation console with the same specs but will smaller nm tech and consuming less power.
Why cant Bitmain or others create S9 antminer which is based on 5nm and lets say consume 1/3 of energy compare to the original 16nm s9?
Watching this interview buy saifedean ammos is very insightful on what the future of mining will be like. Decentralized mining by the avg joe using asic miners which dont take 1K-3KW power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Znc5zkIhkRight now the manufacturers are catering towards the big boys who can operate farms. To make BTC more decentralised, the old mining hardware should be released with smallertech node.
10T\hash @ 700W would be a start.
Apollo and merch have 1-3T\HASH mining hardware but the hardware is not upto the mark and after sales is not that good.
Imagine having a S9i @ 13.5T/hash @ 5nm which only consumes 400W backed by a solar power system.
EDIT: My prayers have been answered!
