In this video I take a look at
Bitcoin mining hardware. I compare the performance and power usage between
BFL SC
ASIC vs
FPGA vs
GPU (Nvideo
GTX 560 Ti and
AMD ATI Radeon HD 8950) vs
CPU (
Intel Core i7 3930K).
I demonstrate these in the Bitminter mining client and measure the power with a Kill-A-Watt.
I show you the
Bitcoin Wallet software.
I then take a look inside (teardown / review) of the
Butterfly Labs ASIC 5 GH/s Bitcoin
Miner:
BitForce 5 GH/s SC
Model: BF0005G
Pictures of the teardown on my forum:
