Introducing the WhatsMiner M53S++ MicroBT has just dropped their latest beast, the WhatsMiner M53S++, and it's a total big deal for Bitcoin mining. This rig cranks out an amazing 320 TH/s, which totally leaves Bitmain's Antminer S19 XP Hydro in the dust at 257 TH/s. Sure, it does use a bit more power at 22 joules per terahash (J/T), while the Antminer is at 20.8 J/T, but that’s a small trade-off for the insane performance. MicroBT really knows how to push the envelope with their mining tech. Check Out These Other Models Besides the powerhouse M53S++, MicroBT also rolled out two other models to fit different mining setups. First up is the M50S++, which is all about air-cooling with a solid 150 TH/s performance and the same energy efficiency of 22 J/T. Then there’s the M56S++, made for immersion cooling, hitting a strong 230 TH/s while keeping that 22 J/T efficiency. MicroBT is really covering all bases with these new rigs, so everyone’s got options.

Stuffing more chips on a single miner and achieving higher hashrate regardless of efficiency isn't something MicroBT should brag about, Bitmain can do the same thing, however, MicroBT does beat bitmain and everyone else by setting the quality bar way too high, they managed to take a good portion of the market despite being slightly more expensive when wat/terahash is taken into account, Whatsminers are tanks, Bitmain lost it even since the S9s, they did improve drastically over the years since their massive failure on the s17 series, but they still can't beat MicroBT in terms of quality. So technically speaking, being the most "powerful" or the "cheapest" or any other thing without a good balance of the rest of the things, is meaningless. - Quality - Efficiency - Price in no particular order, to me, Whatsminer has the best quality, pretty good efficiency, and an ok price, all Bitmain need to do to beat them would be to build a better quality, of course without affecting price and efficiency, which isn't realistic, so it seems like each of these companies are now forcing on one aspect and trying to sell that. MicroBT > Quality Bitmain > Efficiency Avalon  > Price At least this is what I noticed for the latest couple of generations these companies produced.

This is normal in almost all industries. For example, Tesla has not yet reached the efficiency of Toyota. Bitman has been working for about 10 years and they have learned from their previous experiences, so it is logical that their efficiency is the best. I have not used any WhatsMiner device before, but I am sure that they will gain good efficiency in the coming years. Price is not a major driver in this industry, as it is part of many variables, not like efficiency and quality.

avalon used to be very good quality they simply worked. they used to cost more than bitmain I own all three. s15 , s17 and s19 from bitmain m10, m30 and m50 from whatsminer 1066,1166 and 1246 from avalon I would get more s19 more m50 but not more 1246 My reasons are my power limits are 210kwatts and even though my power is very cheap the a1246 will not be near the efficiency of the s19 or m50

Why mix company name with brand? Either you call all by company name: Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, or all by brand: Antminer, Whatsminer, Avalon. Whats with this confusion remaining after all these years... Every car has a branding and are also made by some company, and so do the miners. Bitmain has the most efficient chips, and MicroBT the best quality at nearly the same efficiency, Canaan seems to be getting left behind. You don't have an "m10 from whatsminer", its from MicroBT. They even put an M in the model for you to remember... When Bitmain went back to the previous cooling method (screwing large heatsinks to the hashboard), like they did with almost all S19s, reliability was pretty good. Of course they HAD to retry with the S19j pro+ the same thing they did with the S17.... Meanwhile MicroBT keeps doing the same thing, even in the M56: Large heatsinks screwed to the hashboards. Canaan did had good cooling designs, but it seems they couldn't cope with the chip itself. Now with immersion, Bitmain way may be better to squeeze the last bit of efficiency. Time will tell...
