Avalon A1346 Review

For some early Avalon users, there have been some complaints about after-sales and difficulty in repair, but let's put all that behind us and see how this model performs.

We can see that the rear set of fans are gone, they have replaced it with a set of rear mesh exhausts, and with the reduction in fans we can see that the noise has also been reduced.

The decibel display is 68, which is very quiet and especially suitable for home mining. Now let's look at the power consumption, which is about 3330W. Let's go and look at the hashrate, the real-time hashrate is displayed at 112T, and the average is 110T. The temperature is around 74-76 degrees, and the old model usually exceeds 80 degrees. Compared with the old model, this is a big improvement.

For Avalon users, we know that the old models usually cannot run at full computing power, but this model solves this problem because they changed the chip from the previous SMIC chip to the current Samsung chip. From SMIC n+1, about 8nm chip, to Samsung's 5nm chip, better chip, better stability and performance, this is why the energy efficiency ratio is reduced to about 30.

In May this year, Canaan is about to launch the new Avalon A1366, which uses TSMC chips, has a hash rate of up to 130, and reduces the power consumption ratio to only 25. In the future, Canaan will use Samsung chips in its mainstream models, giving them stable performance and low power consumption ratio, and reducing old problems such as transportation damage or inability to run at full hash rate. They will use TSMC chips on their flagship models, so I believe that in the new era of high hash rate, Avalon will win more popularity.
