Latest Company Updates:
November 2023- Riot Platforms, Inc., an industry leader in Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining and data center hosting, announces unaudited production and operations updates for October 2023. Jason Les, CEO of Riot said that October was another strong month for Riot as the firm continued to focus on adding and optimizing hash rate. Riot’s mining operations generated 458 Bitcoin during the month, an increase of 26% over September’s production. As temperatures cooled in Texas in October, grid demand decreased and therefore the company ramped up our mining operations while still generating Power and Demand Response Credits through their power strategy. Combined, Power and Demand Response Credits received equate to approximately 93 Bitcoin based on the average price of Bitcoin during the month. The net hash rate also increased thanks to continued progress in repairs to one of their immersion buildings, Building G. All of the replacement dry coolers for Building G have now been received, and hash rate there will increase as their team completes installation of the remaining dry coolers during November.
June 2023- Intel on June 26th announced that its innovative immersion cooling technology has gained its first big customer - the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Intel's cooling tech will be developed and implemented with the backing of USD1.71 million in funding over three years. This particular technology, which is expected to come into play in the DOE's data centers, was outlined back in April, including novel technologies capable of cooling processors up to 2,000 W. Intel is one of 15 organizations that the energy department has entrusted with creating cooling solutions for upcoming data centers. The hefty funding comes via the COOLERCHIPS program – Cooling Operations Optimized for Leaps in Energy, Reliability, and Carbon Hyperefficiency for Information Processing Systems. This program is supported by the DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). Apparently, the goal is to "enable the continuation of Moore’s Law," by allowing Intel to include more processing cores to its highest performance processors, with the reassurance that there will be coolers capable of handling 2,000 W chips. For context, today's most powerful data center processors are fast approaching 1,000 W.
