Profitability Comparison
Jasminer X4
Jasminer X4-1U
Based on BTC price of $78,217 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the Jasminer X4-1U edges it: 2 of 4 factors go its way (efficiency, power consumption). Its biggest concrete edge: 80% better power draw (1,200 vs 240 W). That said, the Jasminer X4 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins hashrate 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 and Jasminer X4-1U sit on each measurable spec:
- Jasminer X4 381% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- Jasminer X4-1U 80% better power draw (1,200 vs 240 W)
- Jasminer X4-1U 4% better efficiency (480,000 vs 461,538 J/TH)
- Jasminer X4 400% more heat output (4,094 vs 819 BTU/hr)
Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Jasminer X4 | Metric | Jasminer X4-1U |
|---|---|---|
| $999 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $209 |
| -$2.88 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$2,050 | Net after 1 year | -$419 |
| -$3,101 | Net after 2 years | -$629 |
| -$4,153 | Net after 3 years | -$840 |
| 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.
