What Comes After the 2nm Chip in Bitcoin Mining ASICs?
As a miner, I see a problem: each chip shrink brings big improvements, but silicon is nearing its limit at 2nm. This ceiling worries the industry. Luckily, new paths are emerging.
After 2nm, chipmakers aim for Angstrom-scale nodes (like ~1.4nm and 1nm) using new transistor designs. Beyond silicon’s ~1nm limit, they’ll likely introduce novel materials or 3D stacking techniques. These innovations will define the next generation of mining ASICs.
I still remember upgrading to my first 7nm miner and marveling at the leap. Now at 2nm, I’m asking: how much further can we go? Let’s explore where mining chips are headed and what it means for us miners.
