Profitability Comparison
Antminer AL1
Bitmain S19k Pro
Based on BTC price of $79,088 and current network difficulty as of May 15, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Weighing six performance factors, the Bitmain S19k Pro comes out ahead — it takes 4 of 4 (efficiency, hashrate, power consumption, price-performance). The standout gap is 89% better efficiency (210.0 vs 23.0 J/TH) in the Bitmain S19k Pro's favour. Cross-check the spec deltas and ROI table above against your own electricity rate before deciding.
Spec Deltas
The Antminer AL1 and Bitmain S19k Pro diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- Bitmain S19k Pro 650% more hashrate (16.0 vs 120.0 TH/s)
- Bitmain S19k Pro 18% better power draw (3,360 vs 2,760 W)
- Bitmain S19k Pro 89% better efficiency (210.0 vs 23.0 J/TH)
- Antminer AL1 22% more heat output (11,464 vs 9,417 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.
| Antminer AL1 | Metric | Bitmain S19k Pro |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $313 |
| -$7.48 | Daily net profit | -$2.26 |
| -$12,731 | Net after 1 year | -$1,137 |
| -$15,462 | Net after 2 years | -$1,960 |
| -$18,192 | Net after 3 years | -$2,784 |
| 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.
