Bitmain has introduced its new liquid-cooled S19 ASIC mining rig, the Antminer S19 XP Hydro. The company recently announced the Antminer S19 Pro+ Hydro, its previous liquid-cooled ASIC miner. This latest model will now achieve a whopping hashrate of 255 TH/s, 28% more than the S19 Pro+ Hydro's 198 TH/s and 82% more than the base model S19 XP's 140 TH/s.
The latest hydro-cooled device will also be Bitmain's most efficient yet, with an efficiency of 20.8 J/TH and a power consumption of 5304 W. In comparison, the S19 Pro+ Hydro is at 27.5 J/TH with a power consumption of 5445 W rated, while the S19 XP is at 21.5 J/TH and 3010 W. These numbers also make the S19 XP Hydro more than twice as powerful as the base model S19 Pro.
Miners need as much computing power as possible to maximize their mining profits as earning Bitcoin is only getting harder, so this announcement comes at the perfect time as BTC mining difficulty has reached a new all-time high.
More powerful hardware, in turn, runs at higher temperatures, which is why Bitmain has once again chosen a liquid-cooled solution to keep S19 XP Hydro's temperatures in check, prevent overheating and ensure peak performance at all times.
