Bitmain, MicroBT Heat up Bitcoin Miner Arms Race in Dubai

The race to deliver the next generation of Bitcoin ASIC miners is officially underway as Bitmain and MicroBT unveiled their flagship products in Dubai this week.

MicroBT launched the highly anticipated WhatsMiner M60 series on Tuesday during the Blockchain Life event in Dubai, showcasing two tiers of power efficiency – 18.5J/TH and 19.9J/TH – in air, hydro, and immersion cooling modes, respectively. The company’s founder, Yang Zuoxing, made a rare appearance on stage to announce the products.

On the second day of the event, Bitmain introduced the AntMiner T21 model following its Hong Kong launch of the AntMiner S21 series in September.
