Topic: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s - page 51. (Read 231002 times)

same with the bitfury's... my bitburner bitfurys are hashing at 80 GH.. and consume more than 1watt/GH.   will come back with an exact reading later.

I'm concerned about the hash rate but way more concerned about the power draw, this higher power target makes it very difficult to power these-2100 watts each?!?  Especially for larger purchasers the difference in power bills will be astronomical.  The worst part is they originally targeted 1200w and then raised the goal to 1600w and we're still way off.  As someone with several units on order this is very concerning, now even the highest density colocation cabinets running three phase won't supply enough power...I'm going to have to redo all our power plans, this is awful.  Apparently I should have purchased the stupid terramine hosting package when it was $3500 but who knew they were going to miss the 0.6W/GH goal by this much become 1.2W/GH.  This is insanely stressful, sigh, this is almost as bad as the issues people had powering minirigs.

The problem is that power rates where we are will run 0.25 per kWh so this is insanely expensive to run now

I actually think this likely makes HashFast the most energy efficient miner currently until CT can redesign their board.  Still NOONE below 1W per GH/s at the wall.   (sorry D&T, I know W is not the correct way to measure).

Thanks, I was going to mention the bitburners too but the KNC was the obvious BS post by people who have no idea what they are talking about.  
Con has also posted that HF is just over 1W too.  1480W and 1.4TH/s.

How does anyone calculate KNC at 1W per GH/s?
I have serveral.   They are all hashing between 640 and 700 but average around 650.   They all are drawing 850W on average.   I would be VERY happy if they would draw 1W per GH/s because then the 850W power supplies I was told to buy would have worked instead of getting told two weeks later to go buy 1200W PSUs and paying to RMA the 850W ones.

Do you lack basic reading comprehension skills or basic engineering skills? He clearly mentioned the chips are overclocked, thus they will never be as efficient as an underclocked one. The Jupiters are around 1W per GH/s at the wall (more or less depending on the firmware used, ambient temperature, etc.).

Big deal.
KnC, 28nm, 1w per GH/s.
Bitfury, 55nm, .9w per GH/s.
KnC's chip is nothing to brag about.

1.63TH/s and 1.72TH/s with power draw at the wall between 1900W and 2100W – typically 20% higher than our anticipated target of 1650W but still sufficient to operate in a typical US home (110V) plugged into two outlets on separate 15A circuits

DATELINE 1/24/2014

Today we wanted to communicate our plans as we move from pre-production into production. As soon as the FCC/CE/UL certification process is completed we will be able to commence shipping the very first production TerraMiners and incrementally ramp up to volume capacity over the coming days.

On the hardware front, we have implemented circuit board modifications which have improved the efficiency of the power conversion circuitry from the time of our initial board bringup and we have revised the firmware on the BeagleBone Black controller card to take advantage of this.

Having achieved a good level of stability and based on feedback from our customers, we have decided to push the button to release our first production TerraMiners IV’s.

Our production lines are assembling units and we have submitted for certification simultaneously. The production units that we have assembled and tested so far are running at between 1.63TH/s and 1.72TH/s with power draw at the wall between 1900W and 2100W – typically 20% higher than our anticipated target of 1650W but still sufficient to operate in a typical US home (110V) plugged into two outlets on separate 15A circuits, or in a typical European home (230V) on a single circuit.

The first-batch of TerraMiner IV units shipping to customers

    Is easily the most powerful high-performance Bitcoin miner available today. It smashes the 1TH/s barrier by a huge margin
    Is the lowest cost per gigahash of any Bitcoin mining rig on the market
    Achieves the highest density of Bitcoin hashing power in its compact 4U enclosure

We will continue tweaking the firmware and any updates will be posted to the CoinTerra website.

Additionally, we have begun a board redesign which will enter production when fully tested and approved. It is anticipated that the board revision will offer further hardware optimizations and power efficiencies and based on the initial simulations it will permit us to hit our initial performance target of 2TH/s.

We expect to post the next update as soon as we’ve received certification early next week and begin delivery.

What? You are seriously mad at bitfury for selling miners to mining groups? What do you think knc is doing all these months? What miner do you see at this farm?

Also, the clowns are those over-promising and under delivering. And Bitfury are also clowns in my books because they'll sell to anyone without giving a damn as to how that will affect their smaller customers. Buy only from the companies that only sell to end users and not to big mining consortiums.

Compare both to Bitfury's 55nm chip well under .9 watts per GH/s at the wall and the C in KnC stands for clown also.
