Chip Giant Intel Meninggalkan Bitcoin Pengeluaran ASIC
After announcing the production of bitcoin application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), Intel, the world’s largest semiconductor chip manufacturer by revenue, appears to be abandoning its blockchain chip production. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the chip manufacturer explained that Intel has “end-of-lifed the Intel Blockscale 1000 Series ASIC.”

In February 2022, the California-based technology company Intel made headlines when it mengumumkan its plan to create “energy-efficient accelerators,” or ASIC technology, to contribute to the development of blockchain technologies. Later that month, at the 2022 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the company unveiled the Bonanza Mine BMZ1. At that time, Tom’s Hardware author Paul Alcorn dinyatakan that Intel was also developing a second iteration of the Bonanza Mine ASIC, known as the BMZ2.
Moreover, in March 2022, it was dilaporkan that mining firms such as Hive, Argo, Block, and Grrid were buying bitcoin mining chips from Intel. On Tuesday, Tom’s Hardware reporter Alcorn spoke to Intel about the project, and it appears that Intel is discontinuing its bitcoin accelerator production, also known as “Blockscale chips.” Alcorn further notes that “no future generations have been announced.” An Intel spokesperson stated:
Memandangkan kami mengutamakan pelaburan kami dalam IDM 2.0, kami telah menamatkan hayat Intel Blockscale 1000 Series ASIC sambil kami terus menyokong pelanggan Blockscale kami.
In addition, Alcorn’s report notes that “Blockscale ASIC landing pages are now all inactive,” and product pages have been “scrubbed.” Intel also informed the reporter that customers have until October 2023 to order chips, but “shipments will end in April 2024.” So far, the dominant force in the ASIC manufacturing industry has been Bitmain, with few competitors. Aside from Bitmain, firms such as Microbt, Canaan, and Innosilicon also operate in this space. According to laporan, Bitmain uses 5nm TSMC-made chips, while Microbt menggunakan Samsung’s 5nm ASIC technology. Additionally, Samsung is dilaporkan in the process of creating 3nm ASIC chips.
