The American company announced its next launch: Teraflux AH3880.
-
Auradine’s new ASIC would operate with an energy efficiency of 14 J/TH in its «normal way.»
The American company Auradine communicated the launch of its next ASIC for Bitcoin mining, the Terafux AH3880 team that, according to the company, is positioned as the first liquid cooling bitcoin hardware created in the United States.
The Terafux AH3880, presented on March 25, 2025 in a press release, promises a prominent performance, with a hashrate of 450 TH/S (Terahas per second) and an energy efficiency of 14.5 J/TH (Joules by Terahash) operating in normal mode. These qualities place it above the rest of Auradine’s teams. The company did not mention the date on which this device will be available in the market.
In the following image provided by the Specialized Mining Site, The Miner Mag, you can visualize the differences between the ASIC AURADINE:
If a user used the new ASIC AH3880 in “Turbo mode”, it would obtain an additional power of 600 TH/S, although it would also see a reduction in energy efficiency, raising this measurement at 16.5 J/th.
The design of the AH3880 stands out for its liquid cooling system, a technology that, according to the company, Improve the durability of hardware and optimizes its performance in demanding conditions. This approach uses a water plate mounted directly on ASIC chips, transferring heat to a liquid that later cools and reused in a continuous cycle.
Additionally, the technical characteristics of the Teraft Ah3880, position it as a serious competitor in the global mining ecosystem. In comparison, the Bitmain Antminer S21E XP HYD 3U has an energy efficiency of 13 j/th, close to the “normal” model of the new Auradina team. Although Bitmain gets that efficiency by contributing almost twice as much computing power: 860th/s.
Bitcoin hardware manufacturing competition
The development of the Terafux AH3880 reflects a strategic commitment. The United States, which in recent years has consolidated its position as one of Bitcoin’s main mining centers, also intends to strengthen its autonomy in hardware production.
This new AUDINE ASIC aims to reduce the dependence of US companies of the teams elaborated by the Chinese, Bitmain and Microbt giants, dominant in the market, for example, with its antminer S21 and M66 lines, respectively. Currently, both Bitmain and Microbt are owners of the used and more profitable miners, according to Whattomine data.
Foreign hardware dependence has been a weak point for American miners, who face delays in shipments, high tariffs and risks associated with the volatility of international trade, as cryptoics reported.
In this sense, Mara Digital Holdings (Mara), the public Bitcoin mining company with the greatest capitalization in the world and that is a Auradine investor, showed her support for the project Through a message on your official X account:
«Congratulations to Auradine for the launch of the Terafux AH3880, the first Bitcoin mining and water refrigerated in the United States. Mara and Auradine are collaborating to ensure that the United States is the leader in Bitcoin infrastructure.»
Mara statement in X.
This alliance highlights the common goal of both companies: to consolidate the United States as the core of both mining and technological innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
