Milliwatts per Gigahash: Crypto Miner ASICs Look to 22FDX
June 8, 2018
The last couple of blogs I’ve written have looked at using the 22FDX® technology process for Internet of Things and automotive radar applications, markets that call for a combination of performance at low power consumption. Cryptocurrency mining is another market where power consumption is a defining characteristic, one reason that miners are moving gradually away from GPUs to ASICs.
One of the interesting things about the semiconductor industry is that every application needs a different mix of performance, power consumption, cost, and other factors. The cryptocurrency mining applications are that way, even down to the major coins — Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum — and the ways they are mined.
