Sources in the industry report that Samsung Electronics has issued a major deal for the supply of chips with the Russian company Baikal, specializing in manufacturing equipment for mining - writes .
It is reported that the division of Samsung, engaged in the production of chips, will soon begin shipping 14-nanometer ASIC chips for new mining equipment, which produces Baikal. The first batch of chips has already been tested, and mass production is planned to begin already in January 2018.
Industry experts noted that Samsung usually prefers to deal with industry giants, such as Qualcomm or Apple, for example. And the signing of such contracts with a little-known Russian company, which creates equipment for the production of crypto currency, is completely out of the spirit of Samsung.
Nevertheless, there is a rumor in the rumor: Samsung may well combine with a small but promising manufacturer of equipment for mining, to then promote its products in South Korea, which at the moment is one of the five largest crypto-currency markets.
ASICs are specialized devices designed for the production of crypto-currency, usually for one or more types of "coins", which, however, can produce much higher rates in the production of crypto-currencies than farms on video cards.
