The digital currency led by Bitcoin, two years of red, the market came out, MediaTek started planning the corresponding products at the end of last year, the first mining chip codenamed 'Kimberly', originally planned to produce 12nm in TSMC, scheduled for July Tape out, the fastest production in the fourth quarter of this year.
However, the market came out, on the occasion of the product's upcoming tape out, MediaTek temporarily stopped to cancel the production plan of 'Kimberly'.
The industry believes that the mining market has been fluctuating recently. MediaTek may be re-adjusting its product strategy and lineup in response to changes in market conditions. However, as far as product progress is concerned, it may not be until next year that the company's mining chip mass production will be listed.
Even though the views of the digital currency market are different, the recent suppression of the sound is also large, but the blockchain behind the mining is still regarded as an important technology in the future, which may be the core of MediaTek's long-term layout.
In the digital currency market, the two-year volatility shocked. Bitcoin’s transaction price broke through $15,000 last year, and it once fell below $6,200 this year. Even if it is now back above $7,000, it is still in a squatting state.

The most active China is planning to force the closure of the Bitcoin mine at the end of this year. Google, Facebook also blocked the platform. The advertisement on the display revealed that the price of Bitcoin fell, and the mining kinetic energy was hit.
The mining kinetic energy plummeted, and the impact on the bite continent, Jianan Yuzhi and other mining machine manufacturers to place orders, impact supply chain sports, TSMC has therefore revised down this year's full-year operational outlook, the rest of the graphics card and peripheral components Operation from the end of the second quarter to the third quarter is subject to interference.
