Exclusive: The 2021 mining machine war has begun. Shenma M50 trial production reaches 28J/T and may be mass-produced before the flood season

Wu said blockchain exclusively learned that Shenma's next-generation mining machine M50S is in trial production, and some miners have already received the prototype. The energy efficiency ratio of this mining machine is best to reach 28J/T, but it is likely to be around 30-32J/T in the end, and the computing power is rare to reach 200TH/s. It is expected to start pre-sale at the beginning of next year, and strive to ship before the arrival of the flood season.

The computing power of Shenma mining machine has rarely exceeded 200T this time. To a certain extent, it is adapting to the trend of large-scale mining farms to be centralized, specialized and large-scale, and reducing operation and maintenance costs. The estimated computing power of M50S will even exceed 200T, but it has not yet been trial-produced. The above data are still information in the trial-production stage, and it is not ruled out that there will be certain changes in the future.

The mining machine continues to use Samsung's 8nm chip. Industry insiders predict that Shenma's annual mining machine production capacity next year may be around 200,000 to 300,000 units. If it makes a radical capacity demand to Samsung at a high price, the capacity may even reach 500,000 units.

Due to the sharp rise in Bitcoin prices, each company will make more capacity demands next year. In a live broadcast event hosted by Mars Finance and Wu Blockchain on November 18, Justin Sun said that the price of Bitcoin will reach its peak at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022, with a price of around 100,000 US dollars; Jiang Zhuoer also believes that the price of Bitcoin will reach its peak on March 19, 2022, with a price of around 90,000-120,000 US dollars. This judgment is too exaggerated, but to some extent represents the current industry expectations.

On September 17, Wu said that the blockchain had exclusively disclosed that Shenma 's next-generation main mining machine had started research and development at the beginning of the year, and it may be released for trial production at the end of the year, and will start selling futures at the beginning of next year, and will be delivered in the middle of the year. It will continue to use Samsung's 8nm chips, and the energy efficiency ratio may be increased to about 30J/T. At present, the progress and data are not much different from this information. (Exclusive: Shenma's next-generation mining machine M50S may be released at the end of the year with a 30J/T ratio and continue to use Samsung's 8nm)

The mainstream high-computing mining machines on the market are Antminer S19Pro and S19 from Bitmain, Shenma M30S from MicroBT and Avalon A1246 from Canaan. Among them, S19Pro is 29.5J/T; M30S and A1246 are both 38J/T. In terms of chips, except for Bitmain using TSMC 7nm, other manufacturers mainly use Samsung 8nm.

If the Shenma M50S can achieve the best 28J/T, it will surpass the Antminer S19Pro and become the mining machine with the largest computing power and the lowest power consumption. However, Samsung's yield, stability and production capacity are relatively inferior to TSMC. Bitmain is promoting the development of TSMC's 5nm chips, but due to the lack of internal reconciliation and the difficulty of developing new processes, the development process of new mining machines may be delayed.
