Avalon 7

[HagssFIN]

They are indeed doing some things right now and maybe trying to come up with the final product.
Their git was last updated 21hrs. ago with avalon7 updates.
https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/

First I compared this code: https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/cgminer/blob/master/driver-avalon7.h
with Avalon 4/Avalon 6 code: https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/cgminer/blob/master/driver-avalon4.h

#define AVA7_MM711_ASIC_CNT      18

Based on this piece of code, Avalon 7 will most likely use 18x A3212 chips per unit.

#define AVA7_DEFAULT_MINER_CNT   4

And based on this there are 4x units per miner, so a total of 72x A3212 chips.
So 70Gh/s /chip would make it a 5.04Th/s miner
80Gh/s /chip would make it a 5.76Th/s miner
90Gh/s /chip would make it a 6.48Th/s miner
100Gh/s /chip would make it a 7.2Th/s miner.
I'm guessing it's a 6-7 Th/s miner.

#define AVA7_DEFAULT_MODULARS   7   /* Only support 6 modules maximum with one AUC */

Most likely up to 6x Avalon 7's can be chained together.
__________
After that I looked at this: https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/cgminer-openwrt-packages/blob/master/cgminer/files/cgminer.avalon7.config

option chip_frequency   '756'

The default max. chip frequency is 756Mhz.

option chip_voltage   '4435'

There is voltage control like there was with the Avalon4.

There could be more interesting information hidden in these pieces of the code but I'm getting sleepy now  
It's damn late here in Finland atm.

Wow! Nice sleuthing!

I would have thought that they wouldn't sync their sources with a public repository until they're ready to ship. Let's hope that they're on the verge of an announcement.

Great info !

Thanks for sharing

very interesting news, good work HagssFin

[leowonderful]

Great job! These seem pretty close to release, although I assume they'll test them before doing anything. Definitely not too close to the S9 in terms of hashrate, so it might be less attractive to big rig owners, but if the miner is efficient enough, it might just turn out to be a miner similar to the R4, at least in terms of hashrate. Very interesting voltage control is going to be very nice indeed- haven't seen such a customizable miner in a very very long time. It's going to be some very exciting times down the road.

Sept 22nd and still no updates 

Looks like the 7 will not be coming out this month after all....It should have been announced by now at least. Bitmain is going to eat up all their customers with the R4 if they keep delaying....

I seriously doubt that the R4 is selling that well.

Canaan's merger deal with Shandong Luyitong fell through, but they say that Avalon 7 is still on track (whatever this means).

Lets hope the A7 fixes the giant flaws with the A6...namely the massive cooling problems the A6 has

Really? Never heard that one before.

Could you perhaps elaborate a bit on this?

[majestymage]

still no word ? damn!

Finally a miner with voltage control... waiting to read the full specs. Will see how it's priced and how it looks like.

Thank you very much for sharing this finding of yours .

I've got 20 A6 and haven't experienced anything remotely like what you are describing.

maybe he was using a hot attic space to mine with them.

 when the room got near 100f it had issues, but that is the rooms fault not the A6

I found https://canaan.io/en/2016/09/29/keep-the-faith-innovation-over-acquisition/ to be an interesting read.

Agreed... that's an issue with the environment, not one with the miners.  With my 20 miners, I've had to replace a fan on one of them.  That's the extent of the work I've had to do.  No dead boards... getting advertised or better hash at default voltages.  This includes the ones I bought through your group buys, as well as ones I purchased elsewhere.

just noticed this to day on tweeter i tend to not read stuff in detail but pass thu it and am trying un brick my controller that's in side the miner, so im reading everything i can  all most anyplace to learn how to.

Avalon is not taking that deal to sell so we may see a A 7  yet? .

Today, Canaan is announcing that we are choosing to focus on innovation and will not pursue the deal to be acquired by Chinese electronics.

from the 29 th of Sep.

at the very bottom it says

   
I know most of you are asking, “When is your next AvalonMiner coming out?” You will hear from us very soon…


so one is coming i know I won't beadle to afford it because of BM and i don't care, i like them better then BM all ways have they seem nicer not so hard core etc. they prove you don't have to be ..

well any way looking forward to seeing it, I probable won't get one but if I can at some point I'll buy from them. probable will never buy an other BM product unless it's used and then just to try then resell it.

I see you posted it to, awesome!! .

Any news anybody? It's sept 9 already and no a7 so far... Not even a single word on their website. It makes me doubt the a7 rumor in general and the September release in particular  

 "September release" in THIS industry, even from reputable makers, usually means "we're AIMING for end of September, but might slip into October or even November".

i would say November maybe even xmas now they would make a killing on  black Friday or after .

[HagssFIN]

No major updates in Canaan Creative's Github for a week.
Could be that they have the code ready and not too long time before the public release for the miner is here

Is the Avalon 6 SE any different form the Avalon 6?
