BM1366 vs BM1370 ASIC Chips

The performance of ASIC miner chips has a profound impact on cryptocurrency mining efficiency. The BM1366 and BM1370, as two highly regarded ASIC chips, are utilized in Antminer and Bitaxe solo miners. Each exhibits unique advantages and characteristics in the mining sector. This article will compare and discuss these two chips to help users better understand them.

Translated into English: Among them, the BM1366 asic chip is used in Antminer S19 XP, S19XP Hydro, S19k Pro. The BM1370 asic chip is suitable for Antminer S21XP, S21PRO, S21XP Hydro. In order to compare the parameters of the two chips more clearly, we will take the Bitaxe miner as an example.

1. Performance of BM1366 and BM1370 ASIC chips in Bitaxe solo miners

• The hash rate of a single BM1366 chip is 500 GH/S, which is lower than the 1.0 TH/s of the BM1370. However, the BM1366 can surpass the hash rate of a single BM1370 chip through multi-chip configurations.

• In some multi-ASIC chip miners, increasing the number of chips can enhance the overall hash rate. Miners equipped with BM1370 ASIC chips exhibit a higher overall hash rate with the same number of chips, enabling more efficient execution of hash computations in scenarios like Bitcoin mining, thereby finding qualifying blocks faster and improving mining efficiency.

Example: For instance, the BM1366 is used in six units in the Bitaxe Hex (300 series), offering a maximum hash rate of 3.3 TH/s. The BM1370 ASIC chip, used singly in the Bitaxe Gamma single-chip miner, provides a maximum hash rate of 1.2+ TH/s. The overall hash rate of the Bitaxe Hex (300 series) has surpassed the Bitaxe Gamma (600 series) miners. But for a single chip SOLO miner 1.0+ TH/s hashrate is already very impressive.

2. Power consumption comparison

The single chip BM1370 has more advantages in power consumption than the BM1366. Able to provide higher hash rate while miners consume the same amount of electricity. More efficient ASIC chips consume less power while performing hashes.

Example: The BM1370 consumes about 15w at a hash rate of 1T, whereas the BM1366 consumes about 19w at the same hash rate.

In comparison, a single BM1370 ASIC chip slightly outperforms, but the BM1366 still maintains its advantage in multi-chip Bitaxe miners. They will continue to shine in the cryptocurrency mining space, each catering to different miners' needs. Users can also select the appropriate chip model based on their preferred miner to facilitate efficient mining.
