MicroBT unveiled the Whatsminer M50 Bitcoin ASIC miners at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, according to ForkLog, citing project representatives.<\/p>\n

The M50S, M50 and M53 devices are equipped with 5-nm chips from Samsung. According to the statement, their efficiency is 15% higher than that of the previous M30 series miners, which the firm launched in 2020.<\/p>\n

Deliveries of the new models are set to begin in Q3 2022 at 30,000 units per month. The miners are available for order.<\/p>\n

The flagship Whatsminer M50S, air-cooled, delivers a hash rate of 126 TH\/s with an energy efficiency of 26 J\/TH (power consumption \u2014 3,276 W).<\/p>\n

The announced specifications for the Whatsminer M50 are 114 TH\/s and 29 J\/TH, respectively.<\/p>\n

The M53 model features liquid cooling. The Bitcoin miner achieves 240 TH\/s at 29 J\/TH.<\/p>\n

In September 2020, industry journalist Colin Wu announced<\/a> the release of MicroBT’s M50 lineup within the coming months. According to him, the firm intended to continue using 8-nm Samsung chips in its miners, but aimed for energy efficiency of around 30 J\/TH, surpassing Bitmain’s devices.<\/p>\n

At that time, the market leader used 7-nm chips from TSCM. Only in November 2021 did Bitmain first demonstrate a model based on 5-nm chips<\/a> \u2014 Antminer S19 XP.<\/p>\n

In March 2022, the manufacturer introduced Antminer S19 XP Hyd<\/a> with liquid cooling. The device delivers a hash rate of 255 TH\/s at an efficiency of 20.8 J\/TH.<\/p>\n

In February, the American corporation Intel unveiled<\/a> its first bitcoin-mining chip. The claimed specifications of the Bonanza Mine-based prototype lagged significantly behind the flagship devices from Bitmain and MicroBT.<\/p>\n

In March, Intel announced<\/a> the launch of the second-generation chip for mining. According to the statement, Blockscale will deliver an energy efficiency of around 26 J\/TH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
