Intel Blockscale
DISCONTINUED Intel’s Blockscale (codenamed Bonanza) is a relatively small, SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm-256) hardware accelerator for blockchain proof-of-work consensus applications. Being an ASIC, the chips have been designed from the ground up with these workloads in mind, sacrificing the versatility of CPUs and GPUs in exchange for much higher throughput and power efficiency compared to other mining approaches. Vipera has worked diligently and secured an agreement with Intel to provide this revolutionary and disruptive next-gen SHA256 mining solution to customers. Details on pricing, availabilities and order quantities will be available closer to launch at the end of Q4 2022. Update 19.04.2023: Intel has informed us they will no longer ship out Blockscale chips to our select customers who have acquired them and took deliveries in 2022 and 2023. The offering has been discontinued indefinitely. For servicing and warranty claims, please consult your designated sales representative for details.
