Analysis of BM1366 vs BM1368 ASIC chips

In Bitmain Antminer mining equipment, ASIC chips will directly affect its mining efficiency. BM1366 and BM1368 series chips are two mainstream SHA-256 ASIC chips, which are used in different models of Antminer miners. In addition, Bitaxe solo miner and Lucky miner are also equipped with BM1366 or BM1368 asic chips. This article will compare the differences between these two chips based on chip hash rate and power consumption parameters to help everyone make a wise choice.

I. Parameters of BM1366 and BM1368 ASIC chips

Specific analysis of the parameters:

1.The hashrate of a single BM1368 chip is 700+ GH/S, which is higher than the 500+ GH/s of BM1366.

2.When the hashrate is 1TH at the same time, the power consumption of the BM1366 is 19W, which is lower than the power consumption of 21W of the BM1368. The BM1368 has improved the heat dissipation structure. Although its power consumption is higher, due to its better heat dissipation design, its long-term operation stability may be more excellent.

3. BM1366 has low power cost and is suitable for those with limited budgets, pursuit of higher cost performance, and no urgent need for the latest technology. The electricity cost of BM1368 is relatively high. If the local electricity price is low, long-term operation can be planned.

4. Both support the mining of coins such as BTC, BCH, and BSV, which use the SHA-256 algorithm.

II. Applications of BM1366 and BM1368 ASIC chips:

1. Among the BM1366 series ASIC chips, the BM1366AL and BM1366AG models are used in Antminer S19XP and S19XP Hydro. BM1366BS, BM1366BP and BM1366AH are suitable for Antminer S19K Pro.

Among the BM1368 series ASIC chips, BM1368PB, BM1368AA and BM1368PA ASIC chips are suitable for Antminer S21, S21 Hydro, T21; BM1368PV is used for S21, T21; BM1368PM is suitable for S21 IMM.

2. Performance of BM1366 and BM1368 asic chips in other miners

• BM1366 asic chip:

Lucky miner LV06: 1 asic chip, hash rate 450GH~550GH/S, power consumption about 13W±5%;

Lucky miner LV07: 2 asic chip, hash rate 900GH/S~1100GH/S, power consumption about 25W±10%;

Bitaxe Ultra (200 series): 1 asic chip, 500+ GH/s, power consumption about 9.5W;

Bitaxe Hex (300 series): 6 asic chips, 3000GH/S, power consumption about 57W.

• BM1368 asic chip:

Bitaxe Supra (400 series): 1 asic chip, hash rate about 700 GH/s, power consumption about 15W;

Bitaxe Supra Hex (700 series): 6 asic chips, hash rate about 4200 GH/s, power consumption about 90W.

Conclusion:

BM1366 and BM1368 asic chips are widely used. The number of ASIC chips installed in miners is different, so the hash rate is also different. From the above content, it can be seen that the increase in the number of ASIC chips can increase the overall hash rate. Multi-chip miners have a higher hash rate than single-chip miners. A higher hash rate can mine blocks faster, but it also consumes more power. The higher the power consumption, the higher the cooling requirements.

The BM1366 ASIC chip offers a comparatively lower hash rate but maintains a balanced performance in terms of hash rate and power efficiency. It is well-suited for users with moderate mining demands who prioritize energy savings. On the other hand, the BM1368 ASIC chip delivers a higher hash rate at the cost of increased power consumption. It is suitable for friends who have high hash rate requirements and want to mine cryptocurrency quickly.

By analyzing the hash rate and power consumption data of the BM1366 and BM1368 ASIC chips across various devices, we hope you can accurately assess your mining needs and make the most informed and suitable chip selection.
