MicroBT, a manufacturer of Bitcoin mining machines, introduced its latest models at the Bitcoin2023 conference in Miami. Among the new offerings is the WhatsMiner M53S++, which boasts an impressive computing power of 320 terahash per second (TH/s) while operating at an efficiency of 22 joules per terahash (J/T). This new model outperforms the equivalent machine lineup from its competitor, Bitmain. Bitmain's Antminer S19 XP Hydro, for instance, delivers up to 257 TH/s but operates at a more efficient rate of 20.8 J/T, according to Zuoxing Yang, the founder, and CEO of MicroBT.
The other two models unveiled by MicroBT are the M50S++ and the M56S++. The M50S++ is designed for air-cooling and offers a computing power of 150 TH/s, while the M56S++ is designed for immersion cooling and can deliver up to 230 TH/s. Both models have an efficiency rating of 22 J/TH.
MicroBT's motivation behind developing these new machines primarily stems from the desire to adopt sustainable energy sources in the face of the energy crisis and global warming concerns. Dr. Yang, the company's founder, believes that upgrading the power source for Bitcoin mining is crucial and seeks to find greener solutions. The firm highlighted this commitment in a press release, acknowledging the ongoing debate surrounding the substantial power usage by miners.
