“We expect that our circuit innovations will deliver a blockchain accelerator that has over 1,000x better performance per watt than mainstream GPUs for SHA-256 based mining,” Intel's General Manager for Graphics, Raja Koduri, said in the announcement. (SHA-256 is a reference to the mining algorithm used to create Bitcoins.)
Could possibly make a drastic reduction in Bitcoin mining electrical demand. |
I said earlier in the thread that computer advances would advance faster than the posted $1Billion electrical cost to mine the last Bitcoin, and there you have it, thanks for the share.
