Citing Bitcoin.com, MicroBT has launched the Whatsminer M79S, a hydro-cooled Bitcoin mining machine capable of delivering 1.35 petahash per second (PH/s) of hashrate. The device places MicroBT among the top-tier manufacturers, alongside Bitmain, in the petahash-class mining hardware category. The M79S was unveiled at the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference in Abu Dhabi and is currently the most powerful mining machine available, surpassing Bitmain’s Antminer S23 Hydro 3U in raw hashrate. However, Bitmain’s model remains more energy-efficient. The M79S is expected to see industrial-scale deployment in 2026 as Bitcoin’s network hashrate exceeds 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s).
