Bitcoin Ethercoin mining machine coming out overseas, fearing to hit the graphics card market

Prior to this, the “New Science and Technology News” once reported exclusively that China's mining company, Bit Continent, will launch the Antlinger mining machine Antminer F3 in the second half of 2018. Now, Bitmin’s mining machine Antminer F3 asked the market early. Time. Just a few days ago, Bit Continental took the Antminer E3, a digging machine, at an overseas shopping mall. This was the Antminer F3 Ethercoin mining machine that was introduced before, but the model name was changed. Because it was sold for $800. This is cheaper than the video card mining, and it is expected to impact the current graphics card mining market in the case of strong mining efficiency.

According to information published on the mall, the computational power of the Antminer E3 digging machine is not too high, only 180MH/s. However, its power consumption is only 800W, and the price is 800 US dollars. The use of video cards for Ethernet mining is already very advantageous because the original EPIC diggers need to achieve at least 9 GTX 1060 6GB or 7 RX 580 8GB graphics cards. Computational Capabilities. Based on the market conditions of current display cards, the cost of these graphics cards is more than 3,000 US dollars from the group's mining machines, not to mention the power consumption is at least 1,000W.

Therefore, in terms of such a benchmark, the Antminer E3 excavator has an extremely high price/performance ratio and uses an ASIC chip specifically developed for mining. The computing power is similar to that of the display card digging machine. In addition, it has low power consumption. The advantage of low cost of electricity may impact the market of the display card in the future. However, such news has caused the “Miner Group” to scan the display card for some time in the past, causing not only the lack of a display card, but also the purchase of the card. The expensive situation has the opportunity to ease.

According to reports, the Antminer E3 digging machine has 3 computing motherboards, each with 6-bit ASIC chips developed for the Ethercoin algorithm on each motherboard. The digging machine is also modeled on the practice of the graphics card in each ASIC. The chip is equipped with 32 128MB DDR3 flash memories. In this way, each Antminer E3 excavator has a total of 72GB of memory available.

However, this time the Bitland is still pre-ordered for pre-ordering of the Antminer E3 excavator. That is, the Antminer E3 excavator now being booked will not be shipped immediately and will not be officially available until July 2018. Bit Continental also stated that in order to ensure the fairness of sales, shipments to China's Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao regions will not be accepted for the time being, and only bitcoin and US dollars will be accepted as payment. The specific delivery date will be from July 16 to July 30.
