Profitability Comparison
Avalon A1466
Whatsminer M30S++
Based on BTC price of $63,866 and current network difficulty as of Jun 4, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Our scoring model gives the nod to the Avalon A1466, which leads on 3 of 4 weighted factors (efficacité, hashrate, consommation électrique). Where it pulls away hardest is 31% better efficacité (21.5 vs 31.0 J/TH). That said, the Whatsminer M30S++ isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins rapport qualité-prix. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
Spec Deltas
The Avalon A1466 and Whatsminer M30S++ diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- Avalon A1466 34% more hashrate (150 vs 112 TH/s)
- Avalon A1466 7% better power draw (3,230 vs 3,472 W)
- Avalon A1466 31% better efficacité (21.5 vs 31.0 J/TH)
- Whatsminer M30S++ 6% better weight (12.8 vs 12.0 kg)
- Whatsminer M30S++ 7% more heat output (11,021 vs 11,847 BTU/hr)
Cost & ROI Over Time
A miner pays for itself in profit, not specs. These projections track upfront cost against one, two and three years of net earnings at $0.10/kWh.
| Avalon A1466 | Metric | Whatsminer M30S++ |
|---|---|---|
| $4,200 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $2,300 |
| -$3.42 | Daily net profit | -$5.10 |
| -$5,448 | Net after 1 year | -$4,160 |
| -$6,695 | Net after 2 years | -$6,021 |
| -$7,943 | Net after 3 years | -$7,881 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
