The Chinese company for the production of asic miners Canaan immediately released several new SHA-256 asic miners called Avalonminer 1146, 1146 PRO and 1166. All 3 models have the same power consumption of 3200W, but different energy efficiency and, accordingly, different hashrate on the SHA-256 mining algorithm (Bitcoin ) But even if we take the most advanced Avalonminer 1166 model, its energy efficiency of 47J/GH does not look very convincing compared to competitors, for example, the same Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro with an energy efficiency of 29.5 J/TH.
Consider the news from Canaan in more detail.

You can get acquainted with the new Avalonminer models on the official website of Canaan.
If we compare the Canaan miners with the 2019 models, the progress in energy efficiency of different generations of Canaan asik miners is visible without the naked eye, but compared to competitors, Canaan products are at least one generation behind in technical specifications. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not indicate the price without a special request, therefore it is not possible to compare Avalonminer with Antminer at the price for terahs, but it is obvious that the price of avalonminer should be much lower. Otherwise, it makes no sense to buy Asa from Canaan.
