The Avalon A1246 ASIC miner was a real breakthrough for the hardware manufacturer. For the first time after lagging behind the main competitor Bitmain, Canaan managed to achieve the same hash rate as the flagship Antminer.
The Avalon A1246 was released at the end of 2020, on a modern 7nm chip, in the same form factor as version 11. Canaan engineers managed to avoid increasing the size and weight to which Antminer manufacturers had to go.
The A1246 ASIC-miner "out of the box" gives the following characteristics:
- Working Algorithm: SHA-256
- Cooling system: 4 fans
- Chip process size: 16nm
- Hash rate: 90 TH/s
- Power Consumption: 3420W
- Energy efficiency: 38 J/TH
- Operating temperature range: 5-35C
- Noise level: 75 dB
- Weight: 12.8 kg
- Dimensions: 331x195x292
Based on our experience with ASIC miners, the above listed performance figures can be improved over time with the help of custom and/or stock firmware. These firmware updates are available in a special section of our website.
