Canaan’s newest air-cooled Avalon generation has crossed the 300 TH/s line without pushing a single miner far beyond the roughly four-kilowatt electrical envelope familiar to industrial mining sites. The company’s current catalog lists the Avalon A16-282T at 282 TH/s and 3,900 W, while the A16XP-300T reaches 300 TH/s at 3,850 W. That puts the two…
