Intel revealed the specifications of its highly anticipated first generation mining chip, but it’s keeping its second generation details, to be supplied to Griid Infrastructure later this year, under wraps. egreechee reports.
The ASICs themselves pack 258 SHA-256 double hash engines which operate at the"ultra-low" voltage of 355mV. Each one runs at 1.35 to 1.6 GHz at 75°C, burning on average 7.5W apiece to reach up to 137 GH/s.
That brings its power efficiency to 55 joules/terahash/second at 355mV. The Antminer can be as efficient as 21.5 J/TH/s at 140 TH/s. Intel's system can operate at different power and thermal profiles, from high-performance at 47.7 TH/s and 59.72 J/TH/s, to power saving at 34.5 TH/s and 54 J/TH/s. Jack Dorsey's Block and Argo Blockchain will also be getting Intel's new mining chips later this year, but neither has confirmed whether they will be getting first or second-gen ASICs. Griid's supply agreement with Intel, much of which is redacted, notes that the semiconductor firm will be licensing the reference design materials for the BMZ2, which implies that customers could design their own systems using Intel-supplied silicon.
