To all the people that are claiming the Baikal devices are FPGA miners- FALSE.
FPGAs have similar performance to GPUs, but just much less power consumption. Do your research before making statements.
Baikal's previous generation used 40nm nodes on their full custom ASIC process. They originally wanted to build out their design using 90nm nodes, but of course they wouldn't have been as competitive as iBeLink and PinIdea that were also releasing X11 miners. I can presume their current design uses 28nm nodes on their ASIC. Bitmain uses 28nm for the D3 chips.
To counter you argument, Kindly explain the following,
1. Expalin Quark and Qubit Algos
2. Do you think that Other Manufacturers like Bitmain are so dump to work that out.
Its a FPGA period.
Please do your own research.
Quark - uses 9 rounds of hashing from 6 DIFFERENT ALGORITHMS all of which are parts of the chained X11 algo- blake, groestl, bmw, jh, keccak, and skein.
Qubit - combination of luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo.
It's an ASIC period.
Try to explain these things to Bitmain, its look like they dont know that, Otherwise they will never let Baikalminer enjoy the privilege of being whole sole providers of MultAlgo miners. Don't give us false hope.
You give my answer
Qubit - combination of luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo. All of these algos are not th part of X11 than, you just prove my point.
Smart ass- luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo are ALL PARTS OF X11 CHAINED ALGORITHM. Why can't you just research on your own. You are like the vast majority of people here. Have no clue what's going on.
