This could be huge. Intel plans to enter the Bitcoin mining space with a cleverly marketed “ultra-low-voltage energy-efficient” ASIC chip. Considering that the chip shortage severely delayed the next generation of ASIC miners, this is tremendous. And, more importantly, it opens up the door for Bitcoin miners manufacturing in the USA. And in the rest of the Western world, even. Related Reading | Why Did China Ban Bitcoin Mining? Here Are The Seven Leading Theories In December, Raja Koduri hinted at Intel’s intention to get into the Bitcoin mining space. Even though he’s the chief architect and senior vice president of Intel’s architecture, graphics and software division, no one expected Intel to deliver so soon. Details are scarce. There’s nothing on Intel’s official site. A quick search reveals that “Access to additional search results for “bonanza” is restricted.” Intel jumping into the #Bitcoin mining ASIC manufacturing is a huge. We need way more chip fab in the USA. It will result in: – Improved National Security– Supply Chain robustness And it will also result in less reliance on Taiwan, who is being threatened by China aggression. — Dennis Porter (@Dennis_Porter_) January 18, 2022 However, we have the 411 on the project that goes by the code name “Bonanza Mine.” What Do We Know About Intel ’s “Bonanza Mine”? The product will be an “ultra-low-voltage energy-effici...
