Bitmain, the well-known mining rig manufacturer, is set to unveil a cutting-edge bitcoin (BTC) miner at the 2023 World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Hong Kong in late September. The device, named the Antminer S21, is being hailed by Bitmain as the market’s most proficient machine, marking a pivotal shift in the industry into the 1X joules per terahash (J/T) era.
The Antminer S21 will be revealed at the 2023 WDMS in Hong Kong from September 22 to 23, 2023. Bitmain announced that it will introduce a customer point system for S21 buyers, offering them discounts on the machines. The exact ratio of energy efficiency and terahash output of the new machine has yet to be disclosed.
Bitmain’s popularity is largely ascribed to its innovations in efficiency and power. Over the last decade, the hash rate of Antminers has increased by over three orders of magnitude. Power efficiency is also more than a hundred times better than when Antminers were first introduced.
In comparison to its rivals, Bitmain’s top-performing miners, the Antminer S19 Pro Hydro and the Antminer S19 XP Hydro, achieve 184 TH/s and 257 TH/s, respectively. The XP bitcoin mining machine crafted by Bitmain narrowly approaches the 20 J/T mark, registering at 20.8 J/T1.
The upcoming Antminer S21 is expected to take center stage with its unparalleled computing power and performance. It will be exciting to see how this new development shapes the world of Bitcoin mining.
