On April 2, 2024, Jasminer announced a new generation of their ASIC miners for the Ethash algorithm - the Jasminer X44-Q and X44-P, which didn't just improve; they significantly surpassed all known offerings in the market. The main distinguishing feature of these newcomers is their energy efficiency, which is 2.5-3 times better than the previous model, the Jasminer X16, or any other competing product.
One might think that ASICs for Ethash have been released since 2018 and the time for breakthrough technical solutions has long passed, but Jasminer engineers have proven otherwise, offering an energy efficiency of 0.1J/MH in the Asic Jasminer X44, instead of the familiar 0.3J/MH. You might think it's an April Fools' joke and such a thing couldn't possibly be true, but the news itself was published on April 2nd, so one can fully believe that this is indeed happening.
The cost and delivery times of the new products are currently unknown, so at the moment, one can only familiarize themselves with the technical specifications:
