The new device, an improvement to our most efficient mining rig, the S21, is significantly more efficient and powerful than the previous iteration of the device.
Erin Zhao, Vice President of Mining at Bitmain, highlighted in her announcement how the Antminer S21 Pro has a hash rate of 234 TH/s and an energy efficiency ratio of 15.0 J/TH. In contrast, the Antminer S21 has a hash rate of 200 THA/s and an energy efficiency ratio of 17.5 J/THA.
Gao also highlighted how durable the S21 Pro is.
“It has the ability to handle the most challenging environments,” she said, before sharing that the device can withstand temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit).
The post-coupon USD-to-terahash price for the device is $18.9 USD/TH, and Bitmain will start shipping the device in Q3 2024.
This announcement comes just seven months after Bitmain launched S21.
The S21 was quickly adopted by Bitcoin miners, having already been sold through the company's website.
“We really believe that this new product will be helpful to you in making your long-term plans for your mining expansion, especially before the new cycle,” Gao added.
