TRIPLE-1 Inc. (Headquarters: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka; Representative Director CEO: Takuya Yamaguchi; Henceforth: TRIPLE-1) has announced two new products: The ASIC “KAMIKAZE Ⅱ” for Bitcoin mining that uses a 7 nm process made by TSMC, and the AI processor “GOKU” for deep learning that uses the world’s leading 5 nm process.
— Overview
In the “cryptocurrency mining market” that is driving the miniaturization of semiconductor processes in recent years, an extremely severe business model has been formed that directly links the power performance of semiconductors used for mining with mining proceeds. Starting in February 2017, TRIPLE-1 has been using core know-how involving the designability for cutting edge processes, the optimization of electrical consumption, and the improvement of the yield rate that have been fostered from the development of ASIC (application-specific integrated circuits) for cryptocurrency mining. Development has started on both “KAMIKAZE Ⅱ”, the latest high-performance ASIC for Bitcoin mining that uses a 7 nm process made by TSMC, and the AI processor “GOKU” for deep learning that uses the world’s leading 5 nm process.
— Next generation 7 nm Bitcoin mining ASIC “KAMIKAZE Ⅱ” – That design completed
By making use of the know-how fostered from the initial “KAMIKAZE” model, the design for the next generation model “KAMIKAZE Ⅱ” has been finalized. After tape outing to TSMC and the prototype has been inspected, we will start mass production from 2021.
Additionally, we have started to offer reference boards and reference designs for the first “KAMIKAZE” mining machine model, the system that can provide smoother installation support is ready.
< Feature > ASIC Boost is built-in, improving the mining efficiency rapidly
By loading the custom algorithm “ASIC Boost” that improves mining efficiency (it was not loaded on to the first “KAMIKAZE” model), a more highly efficient mining environment is provided. Additionally, by supporting ultra-low voltage drive (supplied voltage 0.2x V), we anticipate a drastic reduction in electrical consumption.
