The situation on the market for graphics cards and other hardware is not improving much. Graphics cards are starting to be available at least a little, but they are still at high prices. In addition, there is now a risk of a lack of storage, such as HDDs and SSDs, due to cryptocurrently Chia. It is already starting to raise prices for storage in Asia. Other hardware that can be used for cryptocurrency mining is specialized ASICs. Company Bitmain therefore announces its latest ASIC Antminer E9. And it will definitely be a very powerful iron.

So far, we have learned that it has to offer really very high output 3 GH / s, which is equivalent to 32 GeForce RTX 3080 (these have about 94 MH / s), resp. 25 GeForce RTX 3090 cards (120 MH / s). In addition, it offers all this with significantly better efficiency. Consumption of 2556 W may seem high, but considering that in the case of a GPU it would be 8.8 to 10.2 kW (32 × 320W or 25 × 350W), then it is a pleasantly low number. There is talk that this ASIC could earn over $ 230 a day, including the price of electricity in the US. The price of ASIC itself is not known, but it is speculated that it could be somewhere between 20 and 30 thousand USD.
