Now, cryptocurrency makers will have a new, even more cost-effective solution ASIC from Bitmain, based on the new TSMC 5nm technology.
Μcryptocurrency production may have boosted demand for graphics cards, but any derivative that takes it seriously has invested in ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit.)
These computers, although consuming a lot of energy, are ideal for specialized, processing-heavy work. Manufacturers will now have a new, even more efficient ASIC solution from Bitmain, based on TSMC's new 5nm technology.
As he says Toms Hardware, the Chinese Bitmain Technology Holding Company, who is proud to own the 75% of the global ASICs market, has placed an order on TSMC which includes its use Lithography N5 (5nm). This technology is already being used to produce new ones Apple A14 chip found in the news iPhones as well as the M1 chip that give life to the last generation Macs.
Η Digitimes It is written that the production of the new processors will start somewhere in the third quarter of the year. Although at the moment, we do not know specific information about the features of its new chips Bitmain, we know that the processor of the latest model Antminer S19j ASIC (which is exhausted) catches them 90TH / s. Of course the consumption of the machine is similar to that of a quartz stove (3,100 watts,) while its cost is above 5,000$ and weighs 14.2 Kg..
The fact that a new one ASIC will be marketed with lithography 5nm It may be music in the ears of derivative cryptocurrencies, but for everyone else and especially device makers it is an additional source of concern.
The chip production chain is already under pressure to meet existing demand and in addition, the TSMC, which is one of the leading semiconductor manufacturers, is facing serious water shortage problems in Taiwan.
Her order Bitmain adds pressure, but it makes sense that the TSMC would not accept the order if it did not have the available production capacity. The result, however, may not be so favorable for those who try to place other orders in the future.
