Why is the computing power of Antminer S9 so high? As the global mining difficulty increases along with the increasing bitcoin computing power, it has also had a significant impact on the entire digital currency market.

For Antminer S9, can it achieve a target of over 100T? Let’s take a look at why it is so expensive.

Firstly, it adopts a new type of ASIC chip. Bitmain has introduced a new generation of AvalonMicroBTAntminerE8 mining machine, and Canaan’s M30 series S19Pro, one of the best Antminer S17+ machines on the market. According to the introduction, the power consumption of the new product is about 3W and can meet the needs of many scenarios. However, the cost is still high because many manufacturers are doing their own research and development work. So I think this performance is a very important factor, especially considering the current coin price and the overall market environment. These devices are indeed cheap and very efficient.

Secondly, its design concept is quite interesting, as it requires more than 1G of memory to operate, similar to a desktop computer. However, due to the lack of such large-scale operation and maintenance capabilities, and the maintenance cycle, it has raised questions about the system: Does this problem really exist?

Therefore, according to the latest information, Antminer S9 has completed the network upgrade from an initial 1000T to 3000T, and is working with more partners to achieve this upgrade.

Finally, Antminer S9 has also realized new mining hardware. For example, the Antminer S10 machine has 60,000 GPUs and can process about 20 transactions per second. According to the calculation method provided by Antminer S7, Antminer S9 will increase the total hash rate to 2PB per hour or even more, making the price of Antminer S9 less than $200. In this way, even today, Antminer S9’s mining pool can achieve profits as high as 600P.

There are also some notable things. Antminer S9 not only guarantees normal workload but also supports multiple services, including blockchain browser DAPP, cloud security storage, and more. The most famous one is the “InterPlanetary File System” (IPFS), a project supported by the subsidiary of Ant Group, AntChain, which has received tens of millions of investments from Japan’s SoftBank, making it the world’s largest decentralized application development platform.

In addition to the new graphics cards, Ant Financial also plans to release a product called “The Times of Mars” within this year. “The Times of Mars” is a smart contract software code based on the Ethereum network issued by Ebo International. It creates a blockchain framework called Hyperledger Fabric using the “Blockstream” algorithm released by NVIDIA.

Antminer S17 computing power

Antminer S17 computing power is the latest generation of bitcoin miners in China. Currently, about 200,000 units have been sold on the market. However, according to official data, as of June 30th, the maximum price of Antminer S17 computing power was 48,000 Chinese yuan per kilowatt-hour (equivalent to 130,000 yuan), a 50% increase compared to the old competitors S9 and Whatsminer M3.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the data from the Antminer S17 official website, there are currently a total of 19 models in the Antminer S17 series, including various machines such as Chip Motion T2 and Yibite E11Pro, which can be upgraded to the new Antminer S17 ASIC chip version.
