Profitability Comparison
Jasminer X4-1U
Jasminer X4 3U-Z
Based on BTC price of $77,826 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the Jasminer X4 3U-Z edges it: 2 of 4 factors go its way (efficiency, home mining score). Its biggest concrete edge: 62% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s). The Jasminer X4-1U claws back ground on power consumption and price-performance. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
Spec Deltas
Stripped to the numbers, this is how far apart the Jasminer X4-1U and Jasminer X4 3U-Z sit on each measurable spec:
- Jasminer X4 3U-Z 62% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- Jasminer X4-1U 29% better power draw (240 vs 340 W)
- Jasminer X4 3U-Z 12% better efficiency (461,538 vs 404,762 J/TH)
- Jasminer X4 3U-Z 42% more heat output (819 vs 1,160 BTU/hr)
- Jasminer X4 3U-Z 10% more home mining score (31.0 vs 34.0)
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.
| Jasminer X4-1U | Metric | Jasminer X4 3U-Z |
|---|---|---|
| $209 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,299 |
| -$0.58 | Daily net profit | -$0.82 |
| -$419 | Net after 1 year | -$1,597 |
| -$629 | Net after 2 years | -$1,895 |
| -$840 | Net after 3 years | -$2,192 |
| 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.
