The Bitmain is working in an ASIC destined to mine ethereum (ETH) which would give a respite to our beloved GAMERS since they will not have to pay surcharges due to the speculative market since all want the desired cards.
The graphics card market is being manipulated, supposedly, by the strong demand of the mining farms, which demand a large quantity of these products, for the mining of cryptocurrencies, something that is doubtful. Be that as it may, it is difficult to find certain models of graphic cards and if we find them, they are at absurdly inflated prices. One solution seems to be the arrival of the NVIDIA GTX 2000 Series, which would bring an exclusive GPU for mining. Although there is an even better solution and would come from the hand of Bitmain, who would be developing an Ethereum ASIC.
Information coming from China, point out that Bitmain, one of the most important mining farms in the world and developers of the Antminer, the most popular miners for Bitcoin, would be working on the Ethereum ASIC, which would be called Antminer F3. This miner for ETH, according to the rumors, would have integrated three motherboards with six ASICs per motherboard and would integrate 32 DDR3 memory chips of 1GB each, thus being a powerful and efficient miner for ETH. This solution would totally displace the AMD graphs for the mining of this cryptocurrency, since ETH is better mined with AMD rigs.
The information coming from the Asian giant, suggest that Bitmain would be meeting with Taiwanese manufacturers, which would include TSMC, to know how many chips can be manufactured and delivery times. Possibly these ASCs for ETH begin to produce at the end of the month and would give about 200-220MH / s and would cost between 2500-3000 $, a pretty good price considering the power that these ASICs will offer for the ETH mining. Even though it's a rumor, it points to quite true
