Miner Analysis: Terasic DE10-Nano

The Terasic DE10-Nano device is an FPGA-based mining device that uses the Intel Cyclone V SE chip and, thanks to its reconfigurable nature, can be used to mine several different algorithms. This device's best performance is usually recorded on the kHeavyHash algorithm.

This device operates with a power consumption (TDP) of 10 watts and is offered in a SoC Board form factor. The approximate market price of this device is around $130.

Compared to ASIC miners, FPGA devices offer greater flexibility since the mining algorithm can be changed by swapping the bitstream, though their raw efficiency is usually lower than specialized ASICs for the same algorithm.

This device's smart score is 65 out of 100, indicating above-average performance compared to other devices in the FPGA category.
