Quick answer

Bitaxe Max uses the BM1397, Ultra the BM1366, Supra the BM1368, and Gamma the BM1370 (TSMC 5 nm). Multi-chip boards pair these: the Gamma Duo and GT each use two BM1370s. There is no chip called "BM1371" — that is a persistent online error.

Each Bitaxe generation tracks a Bitmain chip generation, which is why the model names roughly map to Antminer eras. The most common online mistake is inventing a "BM1371" for the dual-chip Gamma boards — those simply use two BM1370s. Voltage on these chips is set per voltage-domain (the Bitaxe has effectively one small domain per chip), and frequency is tuned per chip.

Which Bitmain chip is in each Bitaxe model?
