ElphaPex DG Home 1 - Dogecoin ASIC miner for home

Elphapex is a young company, although it has already released a fairly successful ASIC miner DG1 for the Scrypt algorithm for mining Litecoin and Dogecoin cryptocurrencies. Now, based on the same ASIC chips, the company has presented a home version of this ASIC called DG Home 1. A distinctive feature of the home version is its stylish design and quiet operation, for which DG Home 1 uses water cooling. The efficiency of a home ASIC is the same as that of its older brother at 0.31 J/MH, but the ASIC’s power has been reduced by almost 6 times to 2000MH, instead of 11000MH for the DG1.

The company promises to begin the first deliveries of the new product in the 4th quarter of 2024. The cost is not yet known at this time. You can follow the start of sales on the official website of the company elphapex.com

 

In early tests, the Ryzen 9 9950X is almost twice as fast as the Ryzen 9 7950X

The very first test where the new product was tested was the completely synthetic AIDA 64 benchmark, so these results cannot be directly taken into account as future superiority in games and mining. However, the gain that the new product from AMD achieved in this test is simply magnificent. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is almost twice as fast as Ryzen 9 7950X! Let us recall that according to official data from AMD, the IPC increase in the new ZEN5 architecture increased by an average of 16% compared to ZEN4.

In fact, the Ryzen 9000 series will be on the market without direct competitors on behalf of Intel for some time, since new products from the “blue” company are expected only at the end of October.

Bitmain Antminer S21 XP HYDRO is the new leader in energy efficiency of Bitcoin mining

Bitmain yesterday at the World Digital Mining Summit in Las Vegas presented two new ASIC models for the SHA-256 mining algorithm, i.e. for Bitcoin mining.
