No sooner had the Chinese company Bitmain just a couple of weeks ago to introduce a new ASIC miner designed for mining cryptocurrency Monero, as after a few days, with the public announcement of a new device, this time the “ground” under the mining Air. According to the manufacturer, the device will go on sale in the coming months.

But not as bad. Analysts believe that to save the add-in card manufacturers will release a game of the AAA project, requiring computers serious power. Sounds quite convincing, but while on the horizon is quite sparse — so interesting game projects to be released only on PC and requires a radical upgrade of the GPU is not yet in sight.
