Samsung to Produce 3nm ASIC Chips for Bitcoin Mining

Samsung is reportedly working on three-nanometer (3nm) chips foundry processing that can be utilized in Bitcoin (BTC) mining, enabling miners to operate faster and with less power consumption. Samsung will reportedly start trial production of 3nm chips this week for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), the most efficient equipment for bitcoin mining for mining bitcoin. In comparison to the 5nm process, the first-generation 3nm technology can cut power usage by up to 45 percent, boost performance by 23 percent, and decrease area size by 16 percent. While the second-generation 3nm technology can only minimize power consumption by around half, increase performance by 30 percent, and minimize area by 35 percent. Commenting on the development, Dr. Siyoung Choi, president and head of Samsung Electronics’ Foundry Business, stated: “Samsung has grown rapidly as we continue to demonstrate leadership in applying next-generation technologies to manufacturing… We aim to continue this leadership with the world’s first 3nm process with the MBCFET.” Samsung Already Booked Its First Customer Samsung’s first customer is a Chinese ASIC company known as PanSemi which designs ASICs for mining bitcoin. Qualcomm, Samsung’s largest customer, had also booked the trial, and the two parties have agreed that the US company can request the trial at any time, as per reports. Previously, Qualcomm had placed orders for 4nm chips. However, this ...
