In recent years, graphic boards have been in short supply due to a shortage of semiconductors and demand for mining. To alleviate this situation, NVIDIA announced the mining specialized processor 'CMP' in February 2021. However, at the time of writing the article, the CMP product page only lists four types, '30HX', '40HX', '50HX', and '90HX', and does not contain information about the processor named '170HX'. ..



Meanwhile, Twitter user Komachi Tohsaka posted a tweet on October 22, 2021 that he discovered a dedicated mining board equipped with 'CMP 170 HX' at Yahoo! Auctions.




On the listing page of the board with 'CMP 170HX' found on Yahoo! Auctions, you can see the picture of the board with 'NVIDIA ' and ' CMP 170HX ' on the exterior along with the listing name 'CMP170HX dedicated video board for mining'. The price at the time of writing the article is 600,000 yen, and the bidding deadline is October 27, 2021.



According to the item description column, 'CMP170HX mining dedicated video board' is 'for maniacs who want to play with the latest mining video board faster than anyone else'. It is also stated that the operation has not been confirmed because the driver has not been released.



Yahoo! Auctions is not the only board with 'CMP 170HX' on sale. For example, Dubai-based online shop Vipera sells 'NVIDIA CMP 170HX ', which is said to be equipped with 'CMP 170HX', for $ 4,500 (about 510,000 yen).
