Intel Presents Roadmap of Energy-efficient Blockchain Accelerators
Blockchain is a technology that has the potential to enable everyone to own much of the digital content and services they create.
Some even call it an inflection point in computing, fundamentally disrupting the way we store, process and transact our digital assets as we usher in the era of metaverse and Web 3.0. No matter how the future evolves, it is certain the availability of a lot more compute to everyone will play a central role.
Today, we at Intel are declaring our intent to contribute to the development of blockchain technologies, with a roadmap of energy-efficient accelerators. Intel will engage and promote an open and secure blockchain ecosystem and will help advance this technology in a responsible and sustainable way.
We are mindful that some blockchains require an enormous amount of computing power, which unfortunately translates to an immense amount of energy. Our customers are asking for scalable and sustainable solutions, which is why we are focusing our efforts on realizing the full potential of blockchain by developing the most energy-efficient computing technologies at scale.
Our blockchain accelerator will ship later this year. We are engaged directly with customers that share our sustainability goals. Argo Blockchain, BLOCK (formerly known as Square) and GRIID Infrastructure are among our first customers for this upcoming product. This architecture is implemented on a tiny piece of silicon so that it has minimal impact to the supply of current products.
Intel Labs has dedicated decades of research into reliable cryptography, hashing techniques and ultra-low voltage circuits. We expect that our circuit innovations will deliver a blockchain accelerator that has over 1000x better performance per watt than mainstream GPUs for SHA-256 based mining. You will be able to learn more about our circuit innovations at the International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) this month.
To support this, and additional emerging technology, we have formed the new Custom Compute Group within Intel's Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics business unit. The objective of this team is to build custom silicon platforms optimized for customers' workloads, including blockchain and other custom accelerated supercomputing opportunities at the edge.
Onward, we aspire to leverage technologies from our zetta-scale computing initiative to deliver energy-efficient solutions that make our tomorrow better than our today.

When i read this, my blood boils.
The blockchain, as any other technology where you can write data, from the notepad to a complex db, has the potential to store information about who owns what.
That starts to make sense, as long as institutions gives validity to that information.
As of now you know a secret passphrase to a record called wallet, and the blockchains can confirm that some piece of informations belong to that wallet.
As soon as someone else know the passphrase your ownership ends.
I can't even imagine why intel would start a PR with this sentence.

As I understand it, this could solve the GPU shortage, by offering a chip able to calculate hashes and mine cryptos in layman's terms.
Well beyond current limits, as far as 1.000 times faster.
Well, I what are you waiting for Intel? Save us from GPU shortage and cash out the mining craze!

I not sure what to think of this. double edged sword?
The kind that think it not a problem for us so let our future generation deal with when it is, kind like how thing work for past 50+ years? usual how thing get handed. but hey that is just imo

"We are mindful that some blockchains require an enormous amount of computing power, which unfortunately translates to an immense amount of energy."
If you were mindful you wouldn't even make a product for crypto and let it die out. All this results in is even bigger mining farms with the same if not more CO2 emission.
Every company is so ****ing blinded by money these days, they don't give a f*** about CO2 emissions.
