That's really cool! I was waiting for this. The specs aren’t groundbreaking, but at least they're back in the race.

I wish they’d skip the integrated power supply. I only trust server PSUs with that kind of power don't wanna deal with fire hazards.

True, lots of good external PSUs will be useless now. But hey, they kept the 5-pin comm ports for Rasp Pi control, so that’s something.

They’ve got this new cooling design with two fans and shorter boards. Hoping for better performance than before, especially compared to A851.

Yeah, but would love to see them back to real specs. A921 was kinda sad on that front.

Agreed, but the integrated PSUs are key for the efficiency improvements we're seeing. It’s a trend now.

Haha, caught that tweet last night while I was tipsy. Can’t wait to see what Liliy has to say about prices.

Skipped my vodka last night but seriously, if this hits 31th at 56 watts, that’s solid. Would mean some serious power savings.

Same here. After the A921 bombed, Canaan better deliver. Maybe throw us a discount for those who bought the A921?

I got one A921 too. Tested a couple A851s. They were not good at efficiency at all. Really hoping for better this time.

Been thinking since SP3x days long tubes don’t cool well. More companies are catching on.

I really like Canaan products but man, this feels underwhelming. Bitmain is crushing it with their efficiency.

Specs look pretty decent compared to S15 and better than M10. Timing of release is solid.

Wait a sec, M20 isn't hitting 30 watts/th. I doubt it. We need to check real tests before seeing any value.

You think they put that 50W/T thing in the ads for fun? Sounds like they can’t do better than that.

Yeah, knowing watts per th is key. I reached out to Steve for a demo, gonna compare A1021, S17 and M20.

Oof, 1550 bucks each? That’s too high. They need to adjust that price.

Not sure about the new Avalons. But many miners require 20v internal rails; 12v just won't work right.

Same, I’ve got a mix of PSUs, and none of them have exploded yet.
