Topic: Samsung ASIC Chips - Positive News for Miners (Read 216 times)
I have heard about this. Good stuff as large companies are investing into something we are afraid will be eventually banned. If big hardware manufacturers bet for cryptocurrencies then besides the fact it will become a serious business the technology is here to stay
Ebit Miner E10 DW1228 Chip is made by Samsung
It seems very odd that the original article talks about a deal between Samsung and TSMC - since both operate their own foundries.

Technology giants Samsung are said to be entering the cryptocurrency world in a move that has positive ramifications for miners at large.

Ironically, TSMC provides the ASIC chips used in Bitmain’s Antminers, but it’s new partnership with Samsung could well provide the first real competitor to Bitmain’s chip manufacturing ventures.
