Manufacturers Are Building ASICs That Look More Like Servers. Here’s Why: Blockspace

Shift in Bitcoin Mining Design: The bitcoin mining industry is transitioning from traditional shoebox ASIC designs to server rack models, driven by customer demand for more efficient hydro-cooled systems that align with datacenter standards.

Future Integration with AI and HPC: New server rack designs are being developed to facilitate easier adaptation for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) needs, although existing miners may face challenges in retrofitting their infrastructure to accommodate these changes.
