Cryptocurrency has skyrocket in value and this month alone, we saw the sale of $30 million worth of NVIDIA CMP series mining cards to the Hut 8 Mining Corp. and the seizure of 300 stolen NVIDIA CMP 30HX cryptocurrency mining cards. Now, Bitmain has just teased the Antminer E9 Ethereum miner which has a hash rate of 3 GH/s.
The Bitmain Antminer E9 is an ASIC miner aimed at Ethereum and it reportedly delivers a hash rate of up to 3 GH/s in Ethereum mining. That much mining power is the equivalent of 25 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090s (120 MH/s per 3090) or 32 RTX 3080s (94 MH/s per 3080). In terms of NVIDIA mining cards currently available, the Antminer E9 is equivalent to 115 CMP 30HXs (26 MH/s per 30HX). The Antimer E9 is also going to draw a lot of power at 2,556W, but it has an efficiency of 0.85 J/M. With that much power, the Antiminer E9 could make around $236 per day with a $.13 per kWh (average cost of electricity in the US) electricity cost factored in.
