On February 11, Intel officially released its first “mining card” product, which is an ASIC product, officially called “blockchain accelerator”, known as SHA-256 algorithm mining performance The energy efficiency ratio is more than 1000 times that of mainstream GPU graphics cards. Today, Intel revealed quite a few details about it. According to the official introduction, the Intel Blockscale ASIC adopts the Flip-chip LGA 132-ball package style, with a size of 7.5 × 7 mm, an operating temperature range of 50-85 °C, and integrated temperature and voltage sensors. It has a built-in SHA-256 hardware acceleration unit, with a maximum Bitcoin mining computing power of 580GH/s, a power consumption of 4.8-22.7W, and a maximum energy efficiency of 26J/TH. It supports up to 256 pieces to form a system, UART serial communication, variable baud rate up to 10Mbps. In order to facilitate deployment, Intel also provides reference hardware design and software stack, which can be used to excavate .
