From Energy to Bitcoin: A Sneak Peek Into the Future
summary
Roadmap promises new ASICs every other quarter and mining rigs reaching 5 J/TH by mid‑2025, about three times current best efficiency. Efficiency gains come from charge recycling and distributed circuit techniques that shift switching energy into reusable charge, cutting effective switching power roughly 75–80%. Design shifts from synthesized digital to analog and RF at the core pipeline level, and those replicated shader‑style blocks make the approach practical and applicable to AI GPUs while also reducing leakage constraints.
