The firm “committed to securing the Bitcoin Blockchain as one of the industry’s leading infrastructure providers for bitcoin mining”- Bitfury Group was thrilled to announce it has launched a new Bitcoin mining ASIC dubbed “Bitfury Clarke”.

Bitfury becomes the latest company to release a Bitcoin mining ASIC. According to an official press release, the new product know as Bitfury Clarke has the purpose of boosting Bitcoin mining due to its advanced assembly process and an advantageous price/quality ratio:

“The 14nm Bitfury Clarke ASIC is fully customized for SHA256 bitcoin mining. It can execute a hashrate up to 120 gigahashes per second (GH/s) and a power efficiency rate as low as 55 millijoules per gigahash (mJ/GH). The supply voltage required by Bitfury Clarke can be as low as 0.3 volts.”

Additionally, the company will provide consulting services as well as “enterprise-grade professional customer support” to any user who chooses to use the new ASIC within their mining business.

Bitfury claims it will focus both on hardware performance and customer experience, pushing it ahead of the competition (bearing in mind the customer service part is a discussed topic among crypto communities).

The new ASIC has no obvious flaws

CEO of Bitfury Valery Vavilov is excited about the company’s new product. In his opinion, ASIC’s design process was carefully developed so that it would be faultless.

“Bitfury is looking at all factors, including silicon packaging, chip efficiency, optimal power distribution, cooling designs and speed of development when designing our mining hardware … We think that this will lead to solutions that deliver the best ROI to our customers – regardless of ASIC size.”

Bitfury presently registers 2% of Bitcoin’s total hash power. Even so, the influence of the company has significantly increased over the time, promoting itself as a trusted business.
