The presentation will take place at the International Conference on Monolithic Integrated Circuits (ISCC) in San Francisco. Event scheduled for – February.

The development puts Intel on a par with industry giants such as Bitmain and MicroBT. But this is if the processor will be available to the general public, and not part of a larger research project.

Note that ASIC is a specialized integrated circuit that is widely used in crypto-mining. For the first time, the company announced a new product in this direction back in 2018 year. Then Intel applied for a patent to develop a technology for high-performance and low-cost mining.

Remarkably, in December, Intel Senior Vice President of Architecture, Graphics and Software Raja Koduri confirmed rumors that the company was working on a dedicated mining rig. It is possible that the chip is part of this project.
