Does this little box “bring up” VGAs from the mines?

Bitmain has announced the Antminer E3 mining machine. Why is this interesting? Let's say right away!

Bitmain is not an unknown name in this genre, they used to come up with a bitcoin “virtual pickaxe”. The new machine, the Antminer E3, was built to produce cryptocurrency running under the name Ethereum. The price of the stuff is expected to be $ 800 (it cost an AMD Radeon RX 580 in January), out of that much money, the 180 MH / s hash-rate is an unparalleled value - the aforementioned card is capable of a fraction of that. Another important factor is consumption, for which 800 watts were said.

Bitmain has already started picking up pre-orders for the mining machine, with delivery expected sometime in July. Based on what we have seen, the Antminer E3 is much more economical than GPU-based mining, hence we expect there to be a serious demand for it.
