Here we will introduce the next generation mining hardware. Recently Bitmain Technologies, the Chinese mining rig manufacturing giant, launched its new Antminer S17 series that will surpass all existing miners with a hashrate of 50 to 56 trillion hashes per second (TH/s).
This generation of Antminers comes in three variants – the Antminer S17, Antminer S17 Pro, and the Antminer T17. These miners are the latest in the company’s line of fabless mining chips and are designed to provide an efficient means of mining popular cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and bitcoin cash.
Cryptomining manufacturer Bitmain has used 2nd-generation 7nm BM1397 ASIC mining chips in these miners, which is said to provide a 28.6 percent improvement in power efficiency. Both the Antminer S17 and S17 Pro offer more advanced features than the previous Antminer S15 series. Last September, Bitmain launched its first 7-nanometer (nm) mining chips with a power efficiency of 42 J/TH, which was followed by the launch of S15/T15 miners in November 2018.

Now, the company has created the Antminer S17 and S17 Pro, the most advanced BTC and BCH miners under the SHA-256 algorithm, which are available in different variants and can be purchased or rented on the platform Ecos cloudmining.
So, let’s take a look at the specifications of these models and their profitability comparison.
Antminer S17
THE Antminer S17 It is available in two variants, a 56 tera hashes per second (TH/s) and 53 TH/s model, with two mining modes. According to the company, both models operate at 45 joules per tera hash (J/TH) in normal mode, while the low-power mode operates at 42 J/TH.
A lucratividade deve ser excelente neste S17 devido ao fato de que eles são projetados usando um novo chip 7NM que foi desenvolvido especificamente para minerar o algoritmo SHA-256. O Antminer S17 pode gerar um hash de até 56 TH / s, o que significa que a mineração pode se tornar lucrativa até mesmo para quem tem que pagar pela eletricidade. A lucratividade esperada do S17, dependendo do custo da eletricidade, da dificuldade e do preço de exchange da moeda, varia de $ 18-35 / dia e $ 458-854 / mês. Além disso, de acordo com as fontes, a potência do S17 é de cerca de 1500 watts, enquanto a emissão de ruído é de 84db. Ao olhar as especificações do S17 Antminer, fica ainda mais claro que ele será o melhor e mais lucrativo minerador em 2019.
Antminer S17 PRO
THE Antminer S17 Pro também vem em duas variantes, um modelo 53 TH / se um modelo 50 TH / s. Ambos os modos têm três modos de mineração que “permitem melhor personalização, pois os clientes podem alternar entre diferentes configurações para acomodar vários requisitos de mineração”, de acordo com o blog do Bitmain. No que diz respeito à eficiência energética, ambos os modelos operam com uma eficiência energética de 45 J / TH no modo turbo, enquanto os modos normais operam a 39,5 J / TH e o de baixa potência opera a 36 J / TH.
Em comparação com o S17, a lucratividade atual do S17 Pro deve variar de $ 25-45 / dia e $ 565-932 / mês (dependendo do custo da eletricidade, dificuldade e preço de exchange de moedas). A taxa de hash deve variar entre 38-55 TH / s a 1500 watts e 84 db de emissões de ruído. Além disso, o S17 Pro vem com uma solução de resfriamento totalmente nova. Esses modelos usam o mesmo projeto de ventilador duplo S15, no entanto, desta vez a empresa reduziu a rota do vento pela metade. Assim, ao reduzir a diferença de temperatura entre a entrada e a saída do minerador, o desempenho foi melhorado.
Antminer S17 v/s S17 Pro:
If we look at the available specifications of the S17 and S17 Pro, it might seem that the S17 Pro has the advantage of processing more hashes per second, but we need to take a broader look before making any conclusions. As noted above, the S17 series comes with a power efficiency of 45 J/TH using normal mode, while low power mode uses only 42 J/TH. It is up to the user which mode to use to operate the device.

The 7nm BM1397 mining chips used in the 17 series miners will save 28.6% of power consumption compared to previous models, and with the improvement in the circuit structure with low power dissipation, the S17 miners have become more efficient and profitable.
According to the company's Bejing website, the Antminer S17 Pro 53 TH/s and Antminer S17 56 TH/s were sold very quickly at the price of $2366.00 and $2159.00 respectively. Two other devices – Antminer S17 Pro 50 TH/s and Antminer S17 53 TH/s – were still available for $2,232.00 and $2,043.00, respectively. however, these machines are currently available at a low price on the platform ecos cloudmining
