Data provenance
Manufacturer datasheet as published by retailers; hashrate and power corroborated across multiple sources. Last verified 2026-08-03.
Any field not listed above is one we could not verify for this machine. We would rather leave a row out than publish a figure you cannot check. Where published sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one. How we verify specifications.
The seven-day average passed 1,000 EH/s for the first time since March 3, and chain data shows difficulty already 5.92% higher since October 16, with another increase due around October 29.
