Canaan Avalon Q 90Th/s 1674W Bitcoin Miner

Canaan Avalon Q Description 

The Canaan Avalon Q is a compact SHA-256 Bitcoin ASIC miner designed for home mining, small-scale mining operations, and professional Bitcoin mining environments. Powered by Canaan’s 4nm ASIC technology, the Avalon Q delivers up to 90 TH/s of hashing performance with a rated power consumption of 1,674W, achieving approximately 18.6 J/TH energy efficiency.

Unlike high-power industrial Bitcoin miners that typically require dedicated mining infrastructure, the Avalon Q is designed with a more compact form factor and air-cooling system, making it a practical option for miners who want a 90 TH/s Bitcoin ASIC with relatively straightforward deployment requirements.

With Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, a compact chassis, and a rated noise level of approximately 45 dB, the Avalon Q provides a balance between mining performance, energy consumption, and usability.

Key Features

• 90 TH/s Hashrate – Provides up to 90 TH/s of SHA-256 computing power for Bitcoin mining.
• 18.6 J/TH Efficiency – Combines 90 TH/s of hashrate with approximately 1,674W of power consumption.
• 4nm ASIC Technology – Uses Canaan’s 4nm ASIC architecture for Bitcoin mining.
• Air-Cooled Design – Uses active air cooling without requiring a dedicated liquid-cooling system.
• Approx. 45 dB Noise Level – Designed for comparatively quieter operation than many high-power industrial ASIC miners.
• Ethernet & Wi-Fi Connectivity – Provides flexible network connectivity for mining configuration and monitoring.
• Compact Form Factor – Measures approximately 455 × 130 × 440 mm and weighs around 10.5 kg.
• SHA-256 Algorithm – Designed primarily for Bitcoin and other SHA-256-based cryptocurrencies.
• Home & Professional Mining – Suitable for home miners, small-scale operations, and professional mining deployments.

90 TH/s Bitcoin Mining Performance

The Avalon Q provides up to 90 TH/s of SHA-256 hashrate, placing it in the entry-to-mid range of modern Bitcoin ASIC miners.

Its combination of 90 TH/s hashrate and 18.6 J/TH efficiency makes it suitable for miners who need more hashing performance than compact hobby miners while not necessarily requiring the multi-kilowatt power consumption of larger commercial ASICs.

Actual mining performance can vary depending on operating conditions, firmware, ambient temperature, power supply, network conditions, and ASIC characteristics.

For profitability calculations, miners should consider the current Bitcoin price, network difficulty, block subsidy, pool fees, electricity costs, and the actual purchase price of the machine.

4nm ASIC Technology

The Canaan Avalon Q uses a 4nm ASIC chip architecture with a total of 160 chips, according to the product specifications listed by Apexto.

The 4nm process technology enables Canaan to integrate a large number of ASIC computing units into a compact Bitcoin mining platform while maintaining the Avalon Q’s rated performance and energy efficiency.

This makes the Avalon Q suitable for miners looking for a modern SHA-256 ASIC without moving immediately to larger, high-power mining hardware.

18.6 J/TH Energy Efficiency

Power efficiency is one of the most important factors when evaluating a Bitcoin ASIC miner.

The Avalon Q is rated at:

• Hashrate: 90 TH/s
• Power Consumption: 1,674W
• Energy Efficiency: 18.6 J/TH

Canaan’s official product listing confirms the 90T / 1674W / 18.6 J/T specification.

At an electricity rate of $0.05/kWh, the Avalon Q consumes approximately $2.01 of electricity per day when operating continuously at its rated 1,674W power consumption, before considering mining revenue and other operating costs.

Electricity cost calculation: 1.674 kW × 24 hours × $0.05/kWh = approximately $2.01/day.

Actual profitability depends on Bitcoin network conditions and may change significantly over time.

Air-Cooled Bitcoin Miner

The Avalon Q uses an air-cooling system, making it easier to deploy than hydro-cooled or immersion-cooled ASIC miners that require additional cooling infrastructure. Canaan officially lists the Avalon Q as an air-cooled Bitcoin miner.

Its air-cooled architecture is suitable for miners who already have adequate ventilation and ambient temperature control.

The Avalon Q is rated at approximately 45 dB, according to the specifications listed on the Apexto product page.

For continuous operation, users should provide sufficient airflow and avoid placing the miner in enclosed spaces where hot exhaust air can accumulate.

Avalon Q for Home Bitcoin Mining

The Avalon Q can be an attractive option for home miners who want significantly more hashrate than low-power desktop Bitcoin miners.

Its 90 TH/s hashrate provides substantially greater Bitcoin mining capacity than hobby-oriented ASIC devices, while its 1,674W power consumption is lower than many high-performance commercial ASICs.

However, 1,674W is still a substantial continuous electrical load. Users should ensure that their electrical circuit, power connection, ventilation, and operating environment are suitable for continuous mining.

The Avalon Q is therefore best suited to users with:

• Low-cost electricity
• Adequate electrical capacity
• Good ventilation
• Suitable ambient temperatures
• A dedicated mining location

Avalon Q Network Connectivity

The Avalon Q supports Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing flexibility for different mining environments.

Ethernet is generally preferred for professional mining environments because of its stable wired connection, while Wi-Fi can provide additional convenience for home or small-scale setups.

Once connected to a network, the miner can be configured and monitored through its mining management interface.
