Bitmain, one of the leading Bitcoin mining rig manufacturers, made a significant announcement at the Global Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) 2024 by unveiling the Antminer S21 Pro. This new device is an upgrade from its predecessor, the S21, and boasts improved efficiency and power.
The Vice President of Mining at Bitmain, Irene Gao, emphasized the impressive features of the Antminer S21 Pro during the launch. The device has a hash rate of 234 TH/s and an energy efficiency ratio of 15.0 J/TH, surpassing the capabilities of the previous model, the Antminer S21, which had a hash rate of 200 TH/s and a power consumption efficiency ratio of 17.5 J/TH.
Gao also highlighted the durability of the S21 Pro, stating that it can withstand temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). This resilience makes it suitable for operating in challenging environments, ensuring reliable performance for Bitcoin miners.
The Antminer S21 Pro is priced at $18.9 per terahash after applying a coupon, and Bitmain is set to start shipping the device in the third quarter of 2024. The announcement of this advanced mining rig comes just seven months after the launch of the S21, which quickly sold out on Bitmain’s website due to high demand.
“We truly believe this new product will be helpful for you to make your long-term plans for your mining expansion, especially before the new cycle,” added Gao, expressing confidence in the Antminer S21 Pro’s potential to support miners in their operations.
