The manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, Canaan Creatives, entered the ranking of the most important information of the week for its new model. It is the first machine in the A12 series and whose name is AvalonMiner 1246.
This powerful equipment, which mines 90 TH / s, seems to be an attempt by the Chinese company to enter the strong competition. As explained in CryptoTrend, Western customers demand high-efficiency equipment, that is, they consume little energy and have high hash power.
In this sense, the champions are Bitmain and MicroBT. However, with this Avalon, Canaa Creatives is looking to earn a position. The efficiency of this new model is 38 J / Hs.
RTX 3090 is “a beast”To mine Ethereum
