臺(tái)灣地區(qū)電子企業(yè)華碩（Asus）正在試圖讓加密貨幣挖礦變得更簡(jiǎn)單，他們推出了一款專門用于處理挖礦所需復(fù)雜運(yùn)算的主板。

這款在5月底亮相的新主板支持多達(dá)20種顯卡以及提供高性能圖像的硬件，這一特性對(duì)加密貨幣礦業(yè)至關(guān)重要。此外，新主板的設(shè)計(jì)使得用戶可以方便地將USB集線插在印刷電路板（PCB）上。

許多加密貨幣礦工都自己裝配電腦和主板，而主板是電腦的核心部件，也是運(yùn)算的核心部分。華碩稱，其新主板可以縮短挖礦前的設(shè)置時(shí)間，同時(shí)降低了其他主板經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的意外斷開的機(jī)率，還能讓故障診斷也變得更方便。

華碩在一份聲明中稱：“省下維護(hù)的時(shí)間，就意味著有更多時(shí)間挖礦?！?/p>

這款新主板將在7月至9月間上市銷售。盡管華碩尚未公布價(jià)格，根據(jù)科技信息網(wǎng)站 The Verge的消息，這款主板的價(jià)格區(qū)間應(yīng)該在50至400美元，與其他廠商已經(jīng)上市銷售的同類型主板價(jià)格相當(dāng)。

這并不是華碩首次試水加密貨幣采礦業(yè)。去年9月，華碩發(fā)布了B250礦機(jī)專業(yè)主板，目前該款主板在亞馬遜（Amazon）網(wǎng)站上的售價(jià)是141.98美元。

華碩聲稱，他們基于對(duì)早期主板的了解，對(duì)新款主板進(jìn)行了設(shè)計(jì)上的改進(jìn)。

華碩甚至認(rèn)為：“隨著我們的礦機(jī)主板的概念被市場(chǎng)所接受，加之對(duì)礦工需求的更深認(rèn)知，我們的第二代產(chǎn)品可以說(shuō)又重新定義了礦機(jī)主板業(yè)?！保ㄘ?cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Taiwanese electronics company Asus is trying to make it easier for crypto miners by introducing a computer motherboard built specifically for handling the complex calculations necessary to dig, so to speak, for digital tokens.

The new motherboard, unveiled on late May, will support up to 20 graphic cards, or the hardware that lets computers produce advanced videos and images, that are essential to crypto mining. Additionally, it says the design makes it easier for users to plug in USB riser cables directly into the printed circuit board (PCB).

Many crypto miners build their own computers and the motherboard, one of the principle components of a computer, is an essential part of that process. Asus claims that its motherboard will shorten the time it takes to set up for mining while also reducing the chance of inadvertent disconnects common in other boards and make diagnosing problems easier.

“Less time maintaining your machine means more time mining with it,” Asus said in a statement.

The motherboard will be available sometime between July and September. Although Asus has not yet disclosed the price, according to tech news site The Verge, the motherboard should be in the same $50 to $400 price range of similar boards made by other manufacturers that are already on sale.

This is not the first time Asus has dipped into the cryptocurrency mining market. In September, the company launched the B250 mining expert motherboard, which now sells for $141.98 on Amazon.

Asus says that it used what it learned from its original motherboard to update the design for this latest launch.

“With the concept proven in practice and more insight gained on what miners need, we redefined the formula for a second generation,” said Asus.
