Bitmain открыла аукцион на майнеры S19k Pro на фоне спада рынка

cryptonews.ruPubblicato 2025-11-20Pubblicato ultima volta 2025-11-20

Bitmain объявила о запуске открытого аукциона на модели Antminer S19k Pro с начальной ценой 5.5 доллара за терахеш. Продажа продлится до 24 ноября, а окончательная стоимость будет определена 27 ноября. Отгрузки оборудования планируются уже в декабре, что подчеркивает стремление компании быстро реализовать складские запасы.

Эксперты отмечают что эти модели уже не относятся к классу наиболее эффективных поскольку их энергоэффективность находится на уровне 23–27 J/Th. В условиях падения цены биткоина и роста сложности сети такие показатели становятся критичными для операционной рентабельности майнинга. Спрос на оборудование снижается и многие компании сокращают капитальные затраты в ожидании улучшения рыночной конъюнктуры.

Публичный формат аукциона свидетельствует о давлении на производителя и возможном избытке предложения на рынке. Bitmain вероятно стремится ускорить продажу менее эффективных моделей чтобы перераспределить ресурсы в пользу новых линеек и поддержать выручку в условиях спадов.

Финальная цена аукциона может стать индикатором реального спроса на оборудование предыдущего поколения. Результаты торгов могут повлиять на общую динамику рынка а также на ценообразование у других производителей и на объемы предложения на вторичном рынке майнеров.

AMD acquires Taalas: hardware AI manages without scarce HBM memory

AMD has agreed to acquire Toronto-based startup Taalas, which tackles a key bottleneck in AI inference: the constant need to transfer model weights from memory to the processor for each generated token. Taalas's chips eliminate this operation by permanently embedding the model weights into the transistors themselves. This data transfer is what currently limits inference speed and has made high-bandwidth memory (HBM) a scarce commodity. Taalas's first test chip, fabricated on TSMC's 6nm process, reportedly generated tokens for Meta's Llama 3.1 8B model at speeds 48 times faster than comparable Nvidia GPUs. Its architecture features a mask ROM section for fixed weights and SRAM for adaptable components. However, this design comes with a significant trade-off: each chip is permanently dedicated to a single model. Switching models requires a partial redesign and fabrication, a process taking about two months. While the acquisition is seen as part of AMD's rivalry with Nvidia in inference, its broader implication lies in challenging the assumption of a permanent HBM memory shortage. The AI memory market is currently booming, with HBM supply sold out through 2026. Yet, Taalas's technology demonstrates that the memory bottleneck is an engineering challenge, not an absolute physical constraint. This aligns with industry-wide efforts from companies like Nvidia (through model compression) and memory makers like Samsung and SK hynix (developing new packaging and storage technologies) to reduce dependency on scarce HBM. AMD's move suggests that the current high prices for memory, driven by AI demand, may not be sustainable. It highlights a growing engineering push against the premise of perpetual memory scarcity, reminding investors that memory has historically been a cyclical business.

Vance says US-Iran conflict remains in 'midgame', US military 'seeks exit', Iran sets 'six conditions for reopening the strait'

U.S. Vice President Vance described the U.S.-Iran conflict as being in the "mid-game," stating the U.S. is utilizing diplomatic, economic, and military tools, with a focus on increasing oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine is reportedly seeking an "exit" privately, expressing concerns that airstrikes alone are insufficient to achieve objectives and that further escalation carries significant risks. He highlighted critical ammunition shortages for key missile defense systems. In response, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Zolgadr, presented six conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz: a U.S. pledge never to threaten Iran, an end to aggression against Iran and its allies, withdrawal of forces from the region, war reparations, lifting of all sanctions, and the unconditional unfreezing of Iranian assets. These demands, seen as a high bar set by hardliners, contrast with more pragmatic requests made in backchannel talks, which focus on lifting the blockade, restoring oil sanctions waivers, and accessing frozen funds. While Iran and Oman are close to a technical agreement on a temporary shipping lane, Iran clarified this does not equate to a full reopening of the strait, which remains contingent on U.S. meeting its conditions. Attacks on commercial vessels in the area continue, with recent incidents attributed to Iran. Despite pauses in military action and expressions of openness to talks from both sides, negotiations are currently stalled over Iran's economic demands and U.S. insistence on freedom of navigation.
