Bitaxe Gamma vs Bitaxe GT 801
Both use BM1370 silicon, but the GT 801 has two chips and is driven harder, so it trades power draw and heat for roughly double the hashrate.
The numbers, in plain words
- Price: the cheapest in-stock Bitaxe Gamma is $119.99 (Bitcoin Merch); the cheapest in-stock Bitaxe GT 801 is $174.99 (Bitcoin Merch), $55.00 more (1.5×).
- Hashrate: Bitaxe GT 801 states ≈2.15 TH/s versus ≈1.2 TH/s for Bitaxe Gamma (1.8× the hashrate on paper).
- Efficiency: Bitaxe Gamma ≈15.0 J/TH, Bitaxe GT 801 ≈20.0 J/TH, so the Bitaxe Gamma gets more hashrate per watt (lower is better).
- Price per TH/s: Bitaxe Gamma $99.99, Bitaxe GT 801 $81.39 at their cheapest in-stock prices; the Bitaxe GT 801 is the better value per stated TH/s.
- Running cost: about $24 a year for the Bitaxe Gamma versus $57 for the Bitaxe GT 801 at an assumed $0.15/kWh, running 24/7.
Hashrate and power are vendor-stated approximations. Higher hashrate raises your lottery odds in proportion, but the odds stay tiny either way.
