Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Sanjay Gupta, CSO of Auradine, joins us to discuss the Teraflux AH3880, a hydro-cooled, U2 server rack form factor Bitcoin miner. Clocking in at 600 TH/s and 14.5-16.5 J/TH efficiency, the AH3880 applies a tried-and-tested server design from traditional datacenters to the world of bitcoin mining. Gupta explains why Auradine decided to design the model after input from its clients and the advantages of a server rack form factor over traditional shoebox miners, and how this design overlaps with AI and HPC computing infrastructure. Plus, he discusses some of the challenges and triumphs of ramping up Auradine’s ASIC manufacturing capacity to 1,000 units per week.

Notes:

- Terra Flux AH3880: 600 TH/s at 14.5-16.5 J/TH

- U2 server rack form factor for density & cooling

- Current production capacity: thousands of units/week

- $250M in bookings, $500M+ in pipeline

- US-designed, diverse manufacturing locations

- Auto-tuning tech for load balancing with AI/HPC
