Dragonball A40 (3.3TH/s)

The DragonBall A40 arrives like an audit to a quiet cellblock: exact, implacable, and designed to convert electricity into ledger entries with clinical efficiency-3.3 TH/s of Blake3 hashing at a steady 1600 W, an energy density that resolves to roughly 484.85 J/TH and forces every deployment to justify its utility; its purpose-built ASIC architecture and optimized Blake3 pipeline are married to an advanced thermal management regime so that sustained performance reads like a compliance report rather than a promise. Compact at 360 x 185 x 290 mm and 14.5 kg, it slips into racks or bespoke rigs without ceremony, but the 75 dB operational tenor and the quartet of high-speed fans mean it belongs in dedicated spaces where human presence is an accounted risk; silence is not available, only the predictable whir of air-cooling that keeps hashboards within tolerances. Launched in September 2024, the A40 is calibrated for both professional operations and determined enthusiasts who require a balance of throughput and power economy; it yields predictable outputs that must be run against local electricity inputs and fiscal variables, so use a profit calculator to model daily, monthly, and yearly returns in your currency to determine real-world viability before committing capital. In the hands of the prudent, it is a precise instrument of yield; in the hands of the negligent, a steady drain annotated in kilowatt-hours and overheated regrets-bureaucracy rendered as hardware, dry, precise, and lethal to ignorance.

In the low hum of a dedicated mining room the DragonBall A40 speaks in steady, machine-breathed tones that are part menace and part promise. It is an ASIC miner built for Alephium and tuned to the Blake3 algorithm. Its peak output stands at 3.3 terahashes per second while it draws about 1600 watts. That yields an energy figure of roughly 484.85 joules per terahash. The unit is compact at 360 by 185 by 290 millimeters and weighs 14.5 kilograms, so it fits racks and small rigs with little fuss. Expect a constant noise of around 75 decibels, so plan for a purpose-built space. Cooling is handled by an efficient air system and four high-speed fans that push steady airflow. Inside the chassis an optimized chip layout reduces thermal hotspots and extends component life. The firmware allows precise frequency tuning so operators can trade hash rate for lower power draw. Some miners report marginal gains with custom firmware, but that step can void the warranty. The power supply uses high-efficiency capacitors to keep voltage stable and prevent swings that hurt performance. Launched in September 2024, the A40 balances sustained throughput with respectable energy use for serious operators and dedicated hobbyists. Treat deployment as a systems decision: factor in noise, ventilation, and continuous power draw and model energy consumption against your local conditions before you commit.
