On March 31, 2024, IceRiver company begins sales of its new ASIC miner for the cryptocurrency Kaspa under the name KAS KS5L. Compared to the previous generation IceRiver KS3M, the novelty turned out to be twice as energy efficient. However, even with such characteristics, IceRiver still lags behind Bitmain's products, whose flagship ASIC Antminer KS5 Pro is twice as energy efficient, but the cost of KS5 PRO is almost 3 times higher than that of KAS KS5L, making the choice not so straightforward anymore.
Technical specifications of IceRiver KAS KS5L:
