Characteristics of Antminer S15

The S15 is more like a flagship, at least in price and hashrate.

The mining algorithm is SHA256. Weight - 7 kilograms. Price: $1,475 for the first batch (December 20-31). Dimensions - 221 x 175.4 x 278.8 millimeters. The presence of an energy saving mode - yes. The hashrate in performance mode is 28 TH/s. Hashrate in energy saving mode is 17 TH/s. Power consumption in performance mode is 1596 W. Power consumption in power saving mode is 850 W. The fans are designed in parallel. Chip production technology is 7-nanometer.

The miner has two operating modes. The first is aimed at maximizing hashrate, the second is aimed at saving energy costs.

WHATTONEWS

On Tuesday, Bitmain announced the start of sales of new ASIC miners for the SHA256 algorithm. Company employees spoke about the start date of sales, but did not disclose the characteristics, price and other required details. In response, experts called such actions a panic against the backdrop of an imminent Bitcoin Cash hard fork. The deadline has come - the hashrate and consumption have become known. It's time to figure out profitability.
