Canaan Avalon A16 Series

What the generation covers

Canaan's annual report gives the A16 series a 2025 release year, a computing power of 286–300 TH/s and a power efficiency of 12.8–13.8 J/TH. The A16XP, the air-cooled model Canaan launched the series with, delivers 300 TH/s per unit at 12.8 J/TH.

How the versions differ

The A16XP sits at the high end of that range for hashrate and at the low end for J/TH. In 2026 Canaan said it was continuing to optimise the A16 series, concentrating on cost-effective air-cooled models and high-temperature water-cooled models.

Compared with the A15

Canaan rated the A15Pro, the most efficient of the four A15 models in its November 2024 line-up, at 16.8 J/TH. The A16XP's 12.8 J/TH is about 24% less energy per terahash.

Announcement

Canaan announced the Avalon A16 series on 28 October 2025 at the Blockchain Life 2025 summit in Dubai.

Choosing within the Avalon A16 generation

Models in one generation share a chip platform but differ in cooling type, hashrate and efficiency. Start with the cooling type your site supports, then compare efficiency and power draw between the versions listed above. Use the compare checkboxes to put two to four models side by side.
