比特幣礦工轉型:伺服器設計新趨勢




製造商正在打造更像伺服器的ASIC。原因如下:

比特幣礦工們希望提高效率,越來越多地與傳統數據中心行業同步發展,這是來自Blockspace的Colin Harper所指出的。

最初,比特幣挖礦只依賴CPU,然後是GPU,2013年出現了強大的ASIC,這種“鞋盒”形狀也成為比特幣挖礦行業的象徵。

那麼,接下來會怎樣?鞋盒設計會繼續成為比特幣挖礦ASIC的標準嗎?還是會有更像傳統數據中心伺服器的形狀勝出?

故事繼續

ASIC製造商越來越多地押注於後者——或者至少認為水冷伺服器架設計將成為比特幣挖礦艦隊的一個重要組成部分。此外,他們還在進一步提高效率方面,專注於“直接對芯片”冷卻技術。

2025年3月,Auradine推出了其新的AH3880型號。去年九月,Bitmain宣布了其與Hut 8合作開發的U3S21EXPH型號。其U3設計意味著一個單位占用傳統伺服器架中的三個空間。隨後,MicroBT推出了其M63 Hydro系列,Bitdeer的Sealminer A2 Hydro單元也隨之而來。

Auradine在今年3月推出了其伺服器架型號AH3880。其U2設計占用兩個伺服器插槽,雖然尺寸較小,但每單位的算力卻更高,達到600 TH/s(每插槽300 TH/s),而Bitmain的則為860 TH/s(每插槽286.66 TH/s)。

鞋盒設計退出

那麼,為什麼要從傳統的鞋盒設計轉變呢?Auradine表示,這一切都是基於客戶的需求。

“[我們的新型號]是基於我們從礦工客戶那裡獲得的很多反饋……我們在整個設計過程中都與礦工合作,”Auradine首席戰略官Sanjay Gupta在最近的Mining Pod中表示。“他們告訴我們,他們在尋找一款高品質的水冷礦機。”

在與Bitmain合作開發U3S21EXPH時,“Hut 8在基礎設施的定制設計中發揮了重要作用,尤其是與HPC風格架構兼容的U形設計,”Hut 8的投資者關係主管Sue Ennis在去年九月告訴Blockspace。(稍後會詳細介紹高性能計算的角度)。

伺服器架ASIC的好處在於標準化。比特幣礦工們越來越多地與傳統數據中心行業同步發展,根據數據中心開發商Cyrus One的預測,該行業到2026年可能會有40%的直接液冷技術採用率。

如果礦工們採用這一設計,那麼理論上,他們可以通過集中在數據中心行業的最佳實踐設計來優化供應鏈。

這將使建設和維修比特幣礦場變得更容易。如果礦業公司希望從比特幣挖礦轉向其他計算形式,它們也會變得更加靈活。

進入AI和HPC

當前的挖礦新聞中,AI的影響無疑是不可忽視的。

如果礦工們以傳統伺服器架設計建造數據中心,那麼如果他們想將這些地點改裝為AI和HPC負載,將會減少一個痛點。當然,他們仍需增強操作的網絡和電力基礎設施,但伺服器架將為AI/HPC服務提供一個基礎,這比傳統的比特幣礦場需要的重組要少得多。正如Ennis所說,“U形設計……與HPC風格架構兼容。”

Gupta在我們的Mining Pod訪談中重申,“[U形設計]已被用於AI數據中心。它易於調整,具有高[功率]密度……[它]對AI數據中心極為相關,我們正在尋求AI與HPC和比特幣挖礦之間的聯合策略。因此,U形設計非常適合這一需求。”

誰在購買?

或許不必多說,伺服器架設計的比特幣挖礦仍處於起步階段,儘管這樣的設計有潛力勝出,但並沒有保證。

首先,比特幣礦工不僅需要重新設計礦場的內部結構,還需要完全重新布線其電力基礎設施(這在現有礦場中不太可能發生)。

Cholla的Brad Cuddy,該公司運營水冷ASIC礦機,他在去年九月告訴Blockspace,“我很高興看到從鞋盒設計向[伺服器架]形狀的轉變。”但他表示,U3S21EXPH的電壓範圍與礦工使用的其他Bitmain型號的某些電力基礎設施不兼容。

“380到415伏的限制範圍降低了其改裝的兼容性。我希望看到電壓範圍能夠擴展到480伏,以便與當前的基礎設施部署有更多的互操作性,”他說。

因此,我們可能會看到礦工們在新地點整合這些單元。Hut 8正採取這種方法,計劃在其德克薩斯州Vega地點托管15 EH/s的U3S21EXPH單元(並有購買選項),該地點預計將於第二季度開始運營。

到目前為止,Hut 8是Bitmain的U3S21EXPH的唯一公開買家。Gupta並未透露哪些礦工已與其AH3880簽約,但他表示,包括幾家工業規模的私營和公營礦工。看到MARA這樣的合作夥伴採用該型號也並不令人驚訝,MARA已經向Auradine投資了超過5000萬美元。

如果Hut 8的Vega地點能順利運行Bitmain的型號,假設MARA也將部署Auradine的設備,那麼公共礦工可能會引領其他人跟隨,新的形狀設計可能會慢慢滲透到現代礦場設計中。

在這個不斷變化的市場中,ASIC的設計和應用正在快速演變,這不僅是技術的進步,也是對市場需求的直接反映。隨著比特幣挖礦行業的競爭加劇,能否適應這些變化將成為未來成功的關鍵。
