Bitcoin and other virtual currencies soaring plummeted stir the entire world, and in order to mine, many miners are not the means, in addition to buying a variety of video cards, professional mining machine is hot and unusual.
For example, the bit mainland China was established in 2013, but it has become a fighter in mining machines with a global share of up to 80-90%. It is said that its monthly net profit can reach 30 million U.S. dollars and more than 10 in the first half of this year Billion yuan.
With their own design bitcoin, Litecoin and other mining ASIC chip, Bit mainland China has leapt to the ranks of the top five Chinese IC design companies, profits far more than other manufacturers.
Bit mainland China has successfully developed and mass-produced a variety of custom ASIC chips and the whole system, manufacturing process covers 28nm, 16nm, 12nm, 10mm, mining machine sales of hundreds of thousands of units, and each mining machine to use hundreds of ASIC chips, such as ant miner S9, are equipped with up to 189 ASIC chips for as much as 11,000 yuan.
Bit mainland China's fifth-generation chip BM1387, is also the world's lowest power, highest performance computing accelerator chip, mass production scale of billions, manufactured by TSMC 16nm process.
According to the news from the supply chain, In December, the orders that Bit mainland invested in TSMC's 10nm production line have even surpassed Huawei's HiLin Kirin 970.
Specifically which bit of the mainland continent so crazy temporarily not confirmed, speculated that in November the newly released world's first SOPHON TPU tensor acceleration computing chip 'BM1680'.
The BM1680 is the first dedicated custom chip to enter artificial intelligence in the mainland of mainland China and is applied to tensor computation acceleration processing for deep learning applications. It is suitable for inference prediction and training of CNN, RNN, DNN and other deep neural networks.
The mainland of China will also launch the third-generation product with higher performance-to-power ratio in 2018 and the fourth generation product in 2019.
In addition to the bit mainland China, another Chinese Bitcoin mining chip design company Jia Nan Yun Zhi is TSMC customers.
Many people may not be able to imagine, At the beginning of the mining machine to fully pursue the most advanced TSMC technology, and only care about performance, do not mind expensive, unlike other chips have to consider the cost.
