Canaan AvalonMiner 1166 Pro Review
The AvalonMiner 1166 Pro is hardware that uses an SHA-256 algorithm
for mining cryptocurrencies. It was released recently in August
2020. The amount of power it consumes when plugged in is 3400
watts. The maximum hash rate of the AvalonMiner 1166 Pro is 81TH/s.
This equipment is also known as A1166 Pro within the community of
miners dealing in cryptocurrency.
The AvalonMiner 1166 Pro comes from the company Canaan. Canaan is
one of the leaders in the supercomputing segment. They are a
service provider company that largely depends and bases their
hardware solutions around blockchain technology, using Artificial
Intelligence and mainly Machine Learning to develop cutting edge
technologies. In 2016, Canaan successfully managed to launch the
manufacturing on the first chip in the 16 nm size range and has
also been awarded a prestigious certification, making them China
National High-Tech Enterprise.
China's supercomputing company Canaan Inc. (Nasdaq: CAN) has
revealed its new mining machine – the AvalonMiner 1166 Pro.
The AvalonMiner 1166 Pro has a hashrate of 81TH/s and power
consumption of 3400W. It is optimized in terms of fuselage
structure, fan cooling, background management, and native firmware.
AvalonMiner 1166 covers the chip with special thermal conductive
silicone grease, which improves the thermal conductivity of the
chip and reduces the thermal resistance between the heat sink and
the chip. The cool function largely increases the efficiency of
heat dissipation of the new machine.
Avalon is a long-time partner of TSMC, SMIC, and Samsung, so miners
no longer have to worry about the delay caused by lack of capacity.
Bitcoin was trading at $11,312 intraday Tuesday, more than double
its mid-March level.
As the price of Bitcoin rebounds, new players are eager to enter
the mining machine manufacturing sector, while the established
manufacturers are doing their best to update the technology to
manufacture leading products in the market.
