Verdict

Weighing six performance factors, the VOLCMINER D3 comes out ahead — it takes 3 of 5 (efficiency, hashrate, noise level). Its biggest concrete edge: 7043% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s). The Innosilicon A4 Dominator claws back ground on power consumption and home mining score. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.

Winner: VOLCMINER D3 — wins on 3 of 5 factors

Spec Deltas

The Innosilicon A4 Dominator and VOLCMINER D3 diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":

  • VOLCMINER D3 7043% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
  • Innosilicon A4 Dominator 71% better power draw (1,050 vs 3,580 W)
  • VOLCMINER D3 95% better efficiency (3,750,000 vs 179,000 J/TH)
  • VOLCMINER D3 100% better weight (9,200.0 vs 22.0 kg)
  • VOLCMINER D3 241% more heat output (3,583 vs 12,215 BTU/hr)
  • Innosilicon A4 Dominator 3% more home mining score (31.0 vs 30.0)

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.

Innosilicon A4 Dominator Metric VOLCMINER D3
— Upfront cost (MSRP) $5,990
-$2.52 Daily net profit -$8.59
-$920 Net after 1 year -$9,126
-$1,840 Net after 2 years -$12,262
-$2,759 Net after 3 years -$15,397
— 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.
