Manufacturers Are Building ASICs That Look More Like Servers. Here’s Why: Blockspace

Quick Summary:

Bitcoin miners, hoping for more efficiency, are increasingly marching in step with the traditional datacenter industry, says Colin Harper of Blockspace.

If miners construct their data centers with traditional server rack designs, there is one less pain point if they want to retrofit these sites for AI and HPC loads.

Of course, they’d still need to augment the sinews, muscles and veins of their operations with more robust networking and electrical infrastructure, but server racks would provide a backbone for AI/HPC services that requires less restructuring than legacy bitcoin mines.
