Auradine has shattered performance barriers with its groundbreaking Teraflux AH3880, the first US-engineered hydro-cooled Bitcoin miner. This beast delivers an eye-popping 600 TH/s hash rate with efficiency as low as 14.5 J/TH. That’s not just good—it’s ridiculous. The Teraflux absolutely demolishes the competition, making the once-mighty Antminer S19j Pro look like a calculator with its measly 100 TH/s and power-hungry 29.5 J/TH efficiency.
Imagine a Ferrari competing against a golf cart. That’s the Teraflux AH3880 versus everything else in Bitcoin mining.
Even the Antiminer S21 XP Hydro, supposedly cutting-edge tech, can’t keep up. Its 473 TH/s hashrate? Cute. The Whatsminer M66S Immersion? Not even close at 298 TH/s. The Teraflux’s secret weapon is its direct-mounted water cooling plate that efficiently transfers heat from ASIC chips to circulating liquid. This isn’t just tech for tech’s sake—it extends hardware lifespan and slashes power consumption. Serious miners will need a robust cooling system to prevent overheating when operating such powerful ASIC hardware.
Speaking of power, Bitcoin mining is an electricity monster. It devours 0.5% of global energy, seven times more than Google’s entire operation. A single transaction can gobble up 1,200 kWh. That’s insane. The entire industry consumes about 160 terawatt-hours annually—equivalent to powering Washington state for a year. Fortunately, the industry is slowly improving with Proof-of-Stake systems offering a 99.95% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional Proof-of-Work mechanisms.
The environmental impact? Not pretty. Bitcoin mining pumps out 22-23 million metric tons of CO2 each year—roughly the emissions of Greece. But the U.S. Bitcoin mining industry isn’t all bad news. It’s created over 31,000 jobs and uses between 0.6% to 2.3% of U.S. electricity. The industry is increasingly turning to renewable sources with approximately 23% of Bitcoin’s energy now coming from hydroelectric power.
Looking ahead, miners face challenges with the upcoming halving event reducing daily rewards from 900 to 450 tokens. But many remain optimistic about increased demand from spot ETFs. Mining CEOs are betting on low-cost operations and more efficient equipment—exactly what the Teraflux delivers.
The Teraflux AH3880 will be available for order from March 26, 2025. Too bad about the planet, but hey—progress, right?
