Graphics card and ASIC miner

1. Graphics card uses GPU's general computing power for mining calculation, and its performance is much better than simple CPU calculation, because GPU has a large amount of concurrency
the professional mining machine does not use GPU, but a special mining chip, which is an ASIC. This kind of chip can only be used for mining, and has no other functions, but it is highly efficient in its own work and faster than GPU.

2. Video card miner

3. GPU is the meaning of graph line processor, the original design intention is to do graphics computing. GPU chip is essentially a collection of many small CPUs for image processing. Of course, each CPU can also do general operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or non shift jump, so it can also be used for mining. When GPU is mining, it wastes less chip area and power consumption than CPU, so mining efficiency is higher than CPU
What about ASIC? It is a more optimized circuit than the CPU mentioned above. There is no specific definition, but there is a rule in the field of chip design: the more general computing platform, the less efficient it is to complete specific computing. ASIC is the most dedicated computing platform. If we understand this, we can come to such a basic conclusion: in the mining field, if we use the computing power proof mechanism, as long as the CPU can dig, ASIC can dig. No matter what algorithm is used, ASIC can dig. There is no reason that CPU can dig, but ASIC can't, So the biggest difference between GPU and ASIC is their specific computing power.

4. All the graphics cards are in the limit running state, and the noise of at least 6 graphics cards in a miner will be very loud.

5. A card has high computing power. The computing power of rx480 after brushing the BIOS is equal to that of gtx1070, and the price is cheap

6. Wait; The Avalon ordered in October last year has not been received yet; Now we have to order three. Four months to get it.

7. In my opinion, if it reaches 10nm, the movement of the electron will have a great impact on the normal operation, which will greatly affect the yield of the proct. As far as I know, there is no good process to solve this kind of problem. Therefore, in the short run, it is better to consider expanding to three dimensions than to increase the plane density. It may be a practical method to forget the multi stack scheme proposed by which company in the front-end time.

8. It's not a graphics card. It's a special chip

9. Before I bought their ant miner, only 3000 yuan, but its term seems to be the longest one, I think the income is very good.

10. The theoretical performance of a card is still almost twice as high as that of N card, which also has the factor mentioned by Yubo Zhang.
