What do you think ASICs are made of?
- Tenoke 5y agoTSMC has Bitmain as a low-priority client, and the first one to be cut when demand is high like earlier this year[0]. Bitmain itself is having even bigger reduction in orders to TSMC currently[1] so again, that's the wrong place to look for increased chip demand. At any rate, I was mostly responding to claims about 'GPUs are profitable for mining' in the parent. 0. https://www.chinamoneynetwork.com/2021/03/05/tsmc-reportedly-limits-supply-to-bitcoin-mining-players-as-demand-surges-amid-crypto-frenzy https://www.chinamoneynetwork.com/2021/03/05/tsmc-reportedly... 1. https://techtaiwan.com/20210628/bitcoin-mining-rig-bitmain-tsmc/ https://techtaiwan.com/20210628/bitcoin-mining-rig-bitmain-t...
- serg_chernata 5y agoBut is TSMC producing these ASIC chips?
- Hjfrf 5y agoYes, but more generally they use the same raw materials.
