Who are the leading ASIC chip manufacturers?

I've been noticing a bunch of new companies popping up lately, all selling ASIC miners for different algorithms. It got me thinking about how these companies managed to roll out their products in such a short time. A lot of these manufacturers' websites don't make it clear whether they're using their own ASIC chips or if they're just rebranding chips from some big patent holder. I'm curious if anyone here has info on which mining equipment companies have come up with their own chips versus those that are sourcing them elsewhere. I’m trying to put together a list to shed some light on this. Here's what I found so far about companies with their own chip development: Bitmain EtHash, SHA256, Scrypt, X11, EquiHash Canaan (Avalon Made) SHA256

Intel is making their own chip and miner: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/blockchain/custom-asic-product-brief.html There were some discussions here about it when they were 1st announced. I personally was surprised when this came out because I really did not think they would make a product for what compared to the rest of what they sell would be such a small sales numbers product. But, on the other hand due to their size and fab capacity they could probably crush just about everyone else if they wanted to. -Dave

There are many right now who produce ASIC chips but for Antminer I think they develop their own ASIC chips same goes for Canaan or Avalon units. However, there are produced ASIC chips outside of these manufacturers most of the source is from China. I don't think you can buy only ASIC chips directly from ASIC miner manufacturers before they do sell them but right now they don't sell them you can only buy them on 3rd parties like on zeusbtc.com.

I just wanted to say I really like Avalon machines. Honestly compared to bitmain, Canaan make the better machine from someone that works on these machines.  I really like how each chip has its own temp sensor, Also to remove a fan you dont have to pop the top off which is super nice. here is the avalon 1246 96T, check it out: https://shop.canaan.io/products/canaan-avalon-miner-a1246-96t?VariantsId=10001

I just launched ASIC.guide. We are continuously adding companies to our database.  Here is the list of ASIC manufacturers: https://asic.guide/manufacturers It's not comprehensive yet (we have about 30~ more in our backlog to add). Hopefully this is useful to you.

You mean ASIC-based miner manufacturers. ASIC manufacturers are Foundries such as TSMC, Samsung, GloFlo, etc. This is a technical Forum so please use the correct terminology here. An ASIC is dedicated purpose integrated circuit chip that is used a device: It can be for a sha256 processor, heart of a tv remote controller, wireless mouse, digital clock, RING video doorbell, etc. Mining chips amount to just a tiny fraction of ASIC ships produced.

Is this the official Canaan website? Because their 76% off offer is too tempting for a 96Terahash Asic miner, can anyone confirm this is real? Some kind of Xmas bonanza or fake? Anyone should please confirm and drop a reply, I am still buying Asic miners right now.

A. Yes that ^^ is Canaan's official sales site. B. Your question is off-topic in this thread... There are SEVERAL threads here that directly address your query. How'd you miss them?...
