Its initial clients will include American electric power company GRIID Infrastructure, crypto mining firm Argo Blockchain and Jack Dorsey-led Block.
Intel’s new Custom Compute Group will contribute to the development of blockchain technology with a view to energy efficient accelerators. Crypto mining and blockchains require a large amount of computing power, which consumes a lot of energy. To tackle this problem, the company aims to make energy efficient chips. Due to the high consumption of electricity in crypto mining, some countries like China have banned bitcoin mining. In America too, there is opposition to the increase in electricity consumption due to crypto mining. Intel’s new Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is specifically designed for crypto mining.
