The FPGA mining card, MA-X1, is said to be a "cheaper alternative to the BCU" and was designed from ground up without referencing the VCU design whereas the BCU is a modified VCU. Performance side-by-side remains to be seen and they share the same Xilinx VU9P core. Also, it has a dual-slot standard with active cooling and 4x4GB DDR4 RAM.
The active fans model is already built with heatsinks. While the liquid-cooled model is using a factory-install water block (water pump not included). The cards are designed for data center environments and the VU9P boards have been running in the data center for close to a year without issues (ever since VU9Ps were launched). Watch the testing videos here.
Talentpros' FPGA mining card, TPS-1525, is a complete integrated mining machine. It includes m-View, Talentpros self-designed & development system for managing and downloading bitstreams. It is an active air-cooling design product. With a 435W Air flow heat sinker for thermal control, TPS-1525 do not require a water-cooled structure because the efficiency of temperature control and cooling effect (already tested under Whitefire 15GH/S 0xToken). The result can be seen in YouTube.
It supports 2 ATX PCIe Power Connector(4X2οΌ4X2)οΌ12V/300W Power Input (No need of power from PCIe slot or PCIe Riser Card). The VCCINT is estimated to be around 0.7~0.8V/210A and peaks up to 240A (Voltage auto range depends on current or bitstream). Also compatible with board management controller from Xilinx Zynq Z-7020.
The FPGA mining card, Cairsmore5, includes liquid cooling heatsinks, 2 Arria10 GX1150 each with 2 DDR4 SODIMM sockets (there will be memory fit options at additional cost including QDR IV). Each Arria has an adjustable 6PH 240A core supply and adjustable DDR4 supply.
The FPGA board can be run as a USB slave but also has a Linux capable controller which will support ethernet, USB master, and others. The board will have a metal back that will air cooling but won't be the primary cooling mechanism, It will be possible to add liquid cooling to this surface. There will also be a front edge connector for high-speed intra-board working on big algorithms.
Built with Xilinx XC7K410T-2I 550Mhz FPGA chip. The maximum power is around 210 W, 8+6P VGA, and PCI-E 1 Lane only. The DRAM socket, USB 2.0, USB JTAG, and CONN SET 2 are removed.
