In an interview, bitcoin miner Argo Blockchain CEO Peter Wall reportedly said that the company “tends” to use Intel chips to design its machines and work with third-party manufacturers to make them available life. This product from Intel is expected to break the monopoly of Bitmain and MicroBT in the mining application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market. What's more, Wall said, they could allow miners to design their machines rather than settle for off-the-shelf machines from manufacturers.
