This is the best thing I have heard all year when it comes to mining! Samsung is now in the mix with TSMC and GloFlo when it comes to making mining ASICs. I hope we see more specialized chip production for mining-specific applications to ease some of the burden on the dwindling GPU supply that is screwing every PC gamer and enthusiast on the planet. It however does not seem that Samsung is deadset on providing a lot of capacity or what other products this might take volume from. You will need to use a translator to read this page for the details. Thanks cageymaru.
According to Samsung Electronics and related industries on the 29th, Samsung Electronics completed the process development of semiconductor ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) for bit coin mining last year, and started mass production from January.
The ASIC, which Samsung Electronics began mass production, is an on-demand semiconductor designed in a way optimized for bit coin mining. Bit coin mining requires high-speed, energy-efficient hardware. As a result, companies that mined bit coins in large quantities have commissioned dedicated ASIC chips customized for their mining operations and installed them in mining equipment.
