And at 16nm the MicroBT M10 is far more efficient than the S9 also at 16nm, so what gives? This was the same guy that used to work with Bitmain so why such difference? If MicroBT can switch to a smaller node, it should take over the lead in my opinion. Unless Braiins OS can break thru the efficiency of the S15 as well as it did to the S9...
Also if the 7nm asic Bitmain uses is unreliable, what is being used in the S15 that some people here have bought and are using at this very moment?
it could be etching layout is much better on the m10 chip then the s9 chip.
it could also be that asicboost which is on the s9 and not on the m10 takes up room to etch it in.
thus the m10 can do more in the same space.
All trade secrets to some extent
