JASMINER's 0.32 Joule Pitch
At Mining Disrupt Miami 2023, Grant Li of JASMINER argued that high hashrate and low power draw can coexist, and showed the X16 series to prove it.
Six hundred and twenty watts. That is the power draw Grant Li put on the screen at Mining Disrupt Miami 2023 for JASMINER's X16-Q, a home miner he said runs at one thousand nine hundred and fifty megahashes per second. Li, Sales Manager at JASMINER, came with one question: can a miner have high hashrate and low power consumption at the same time? He started with the incentive every miner knows.
More hashrate earns more rewards, but it has meant a bigger power bill, and he called that power demand a global problem. "A large amount of power required for mining is a global problem that not only burdens the environment but also waste energy," Li said. His answer was a chip. JASMINER is headquartered in Singapore, he said, with customers in more than one hundred countries and regions.
He said JASMINER developed what it calls the first 3D integrated memory and computing processor, used in its X4 and X16 lines. The X16-Q works out to zero point three two joules per megahash and runs at forty decibels. The farm model, the X16-P, draws one thousand nine hundred watts at the same efficiency. These are Etchash machines for Ethereum Classic, not Bitcoin miners.
He closed by saying new miners for Bitcoin were coming soon. When Li spoke in July 2023, Bitcoin traded at twenty-nine thousand one hundred thirty-seven dollars. Today it is eighty-one thousand eight hundred forty-nine. The full story is on Mining Disrupt at miningdisrupt dot com, and many more like it play around the clock on Bitcoin Radio.
