Nice, but we're years away from seeing that in a miner.

Well, thinking about it in an optimistic way. If someday in a year or two if we get to see some hardware running on Asic boost as well as 7nm tech. It'll be like next level of efficiency in mining and network hashrate of aboth 10Eh/s. But only if IBM is generous enough to share some details on their 7nm.  Grin

I really hope from the bottom of my heart that this happens.
That would be the ultimate form of mining centralization. Hope that never happens. Because IBM will never open source their design.

Indeed centralization is an issue but still, it can restore home mining to an extent.

Wow,how the hell will this help home miners?? You think you will be able to buy these as soon as they are made?? Or even be able to afford them??

Think again,ONLY Bitmain & Avalon are dumb enough to sell to home miners,all others are doing what with ANY miners they make??

Lets see...what are they doing....what are they doing....Oh selling to the highest "bidder" or self mining,thats right.................. Cheesy
