Blockscale

Intel Blockscale was a brand of crypto-mining accelerator ASIC sold by the U.S. chip manufacturer Intel. The Blockscale product debuted in June 2022, and was cancelled by Intel in April 2023.[1][2] Intel has stated that it will continue to supply chips to existing customers until April 2024.[3]

The Blockscale chips were SHA-256 hardware accelerators designed for proof-of-work calculations.[4] According to Intel, they were capable of up to 580 GH/s with a power consumption of up to 22.7 W, and a claimed efficiency of up to 26 J/TH.[5] The product came in three variants: the Blockscale 1120, 1140, and 1160.[3]
