Canaan Avalon A15 Series

What the generation covers

Canaan's November 2024 upgrade lists four models: the A15Pro at no less than 215 TH/s and 16.8 J/TH, the A15XP at 200–212 TH/s and 17.8 J/TH, the A15 at 188–203 TH/s and 18.8 J/TH, and the A15SE at 170–185 TH/s and 19.9 J/TH. Later releases give the air-cooled A15XP 207 TH/s and the A15Pro an average of 221 TH/s at about 16.6 J/TH. The immersion-cooled A1566I delivers 249 to 267 TH/s without overclocking. The hydro-cooled A1566HA has a designed hash rate of 480 TH/s, and Canaan names 460T and 488T versions.

How the versions differ

Of those four models, the A15Pro has the lowest J/TH; against the A15SE's 19.9 J/TH it uses about 16% less energy per terahash. Canaan describes the series as coming in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled versions.
