Nice to see the miner up and running.
I kept waiting for them to update the miner status page, or for cut to an hour or later. Either way definitely promising, a big plus with summer coming is seeing them actually push the miner to 40C.
Nope its 16nm because the wafer cost per TH on yeilded die is lower on 16nm than 7nm.
No controller required in the RJ45 version, cgminer runs on the AI chip, dual core risc V.
I think the option with the non integrated PSU will probably rule the day, especially when folks figure out that if you have the right PSU, you can run it above 31TH.. (31 TH is running about 1/2 the max clock) you'll take an effciiency hit that more than pays for itself at lower power prices.
The purchasing decision and operating decisions become a bit more complex when you look at running the machine in max effciency mode ( say 24TH ) versus running it in max hash rate mode ( 38+ today) And how do I just put one number on the spec sheet? and then you have to factor in how efficiency changes with ambient temp.
Its almost like an AI problem. just kidding. But I do foresee customers who will now have fine grain control of the frequency that is tied to the actual operating conditions of their farm.
Thanks for clearing that up. Reading this it's hard to tell what the anticipation is for the miner or the fun/interest of being able to tweak and adjust for your needs. Note to self don't dump the PSU's yet.
