Bitcoin mining has new ASIC and one that generates both noise “and a library”
On May 27, 2025, Chinese Bitmain and Canaan companies, referents in the manufacture of ASIC teams, have presented their new devices designed for Bitcoin mining (BTC).
Bitmain, market leader with approximately 75% of the Asic team quota, presented at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) event in Las Vegas its new Antminer S23 series, composed of three models that will be available in the First quarter of 2026.
The most prominent is the antminer S23 Hydro, a equipment with liquid cooling that reaches a computing power (or hashrate) of 580 TH/S (Terahas per second) with a consumption of 5,510 watts, achieving an energy efficiency of 9.5 j/th (joules by Terahash). This performance would position it today as One of the most efficient mining equipment on the marketideal for industrial miners seeking to maximize Bitcoin’s production while reducing operating costs.
The S23 series also includes the S23 Aircooled model (air cooling), with a hashrate 318 TH/S, a consumption of 3,498 watts and an efficiency of 11 j/th, and the S23 IMMERSION, which offers 368 TH/S with 4,048 watts and the same efficiency of 11 j/th in normal mode, according to data from high technology, a specialized site in Bitcoin mining.
Compared the S23 with recent Bitmain models, such as those of the S21 series, which averaged between 12 J/Th and 13 J/Th, the new Antminer S23 represent a significant jump in efficiency. In addition, the average of the most powerful ASICs of the current market is around 15 J/TH, which highlights even more the efficiency achieved by ASIC S23 models, while maintaining a similar hashrate or higher than those of line S21.
However, S23 models will be operational from the first quarter of 2026, so, until distribution, other ASIC could reach similar efficiencies.
Canaan Avalon Q: Bitcoin mining within the reach of the home
For its part, Canaan launched the Avalon Q model, a team oriented to domestic mining that had already been presented at the end of March, as cryptootics notified. This ASIC, with an average price of $ 1,500, would offer daily profits of around 1 dollar, according to Asicminervalue.
As for the processing power, it has A hash rate of up to 90 TH/S and an adjustable energy consumption between 800 and 1,600 watts, depending on the user configuration. Its energy efficiency is 18.6 J/TH, a competitive value for a device designed for non -industrial environments.
One of the characteristics that Canaan stands out of the guarantee Q is its low noise level, located at 45 to 65 decibels, which, according to that company, is comparable “to the silence of a library” or to the sound of a domestic refrigerator. This quality differentiates it from traditional equipment, which usually generate noise levels incompatible with residential environments.
Thus, Mini Asic the Avalon that combines a respectable hashrate with adequate energy efficiency, allowing individual users to participate in the Bitcoin network without the need for industrial facilities.
