Surprises by Samsung: As interest in cryptocurrencies grows along with the opportunity for quick profit growth, some companies are seriously considering starting to support mining. The cards graphics για παράδειγμα, έχουν τόσο μεγάλη ζήτηση, που η Nvidia αύξησε την παρtreatment cards for mining that were often sold out.
So it seems that Samsung is also trying to get in on the game by creating very powerful processors.
Speaking at TechCrunch, a Samsung representative confirmed that the company began to manufacture ASIC chips which are suitable for mining.
"Samsung is currently making cryptocurrency chips," said a company spokesman. "However, we can not reveal further details."
Korean local media reported earlier this month that Samsung had completed its plan to build the ASIC chip in 2017 and began mass production in January 2018.
Also, Samsung has reportedly secured a contract with an unnamed Chinese company that deals with the Bitcoin mining, possibly for the supply of suitable chips.
The Korean company is reportedly already carrying out the mass production of 10-nanometer 16 Gb GDDR6 DRAM chips that can make cryptographic mining much more efficient through the graphics card.
However, a possible shift to chips that will be made exclusively for mining could be a new source of revenue for the company, since interest is and continues to remain strong.
The South Korean company also announced the production of the octa-core processor Eyxnos 9810, a chip with AI features and four cores clocked at 2.9GHz.
