A couple of days in the past, Jasminer has teased with an upcoming new Ethash/ETChash miner known as X16 and now there may be extra data concerning the specs and pricing of the brand new system accessible. Jasminer and their X4 chips are presently one probably the most environment friendly resolution for mining ETH-based DAG cash and their upcoming X16 chips must be able to delivering even higher efficiency. The newly launched data type Jasminer states that their new Jasminer X16-Q (an upgraded model of their X4-Q quiet miner) is meant to be able to 1845 MH/s hashrate for Ethash/ETChash with 630 Watts of energy utilization or 2.93 Megahash per Watt (0.34 J/MH effectivity). As comparability the X4-Q does provide 2.17 Megahash per Watt energy effectivity (1040 MH/s at 480 Watts or 0.46 J/MH effectivity), so a pleasant enchancment in energy effectivity and is shouldn’t be solely larger hashrate with decrease energy utilization apparently. The brand new X16 miners must also include 8GB of reminiscence accessible for bigger DAG cash as in comparison with the simply 5GB accessible with the present technology of X4 units.
The value cited on the official Jasminer web site for his or her upcoming JASMINER X16-Q Excessive Throughput 3U Quiet Server is $2799 USD, although there isn’t any inventory and you can not apparently pre-order the system… it has not been launched on the market but. The system is rated at simply 40 dB as noise stage thus it continues the legacy of the X4-Q for a quiet miner that can be utilized at house as an area heater, nevertheless the discharge timeframe for the brand new mannequin doesn’t make it very enticing for such use as it’s going to apparently miss the chilly winter days. In accordance with Jingle Mining, an official Jasminer reseller, the anticipated supply date for the brand new X16-Q units is someplace in between Might 1st and Might thirty first subsequent yr, so fairly a little bit of time earlier than these make it in the marketplace apparently.
There’s presently no phrase concerning assist for Nicehash and Twin-Mining Ethash/ETChash cash with Zilliqa (ZIL) nevertheless for the brand new X16 merchandise as presently one of many most important drawbacks of the Jasminer X4 units in realizing their most potential and profitability is the shortage of assist for these. It will likely be good to see an answer for Nicehash and Twin-Mining with ZIL as they will enhance profitability of the present and upcoming units considerably for the time being and make them extra fascinating for miners within the present not so beneficial mining situations the place even having the ability to cowl for electrical energy prices is a problem. Guess we’ll have to attend a bit extra and see if these will probably be addressed or not, and by the point the brand new miner is launched in the marketplace it’s also attainable that even with out these accessible the profitability would possibly make them not a lot of an issue like they’re presently.
