REFERENCE COMPARISON
Compare the 200 TH/s S21 with the 270 TH/s XP. Separate the increase in hashing work from the extra running power and thermal load.
| Metric | Antminer S21 ↗200 TH/s reference variant | Antminer S21 XP ↗270 TH/s reference variant |

| Wall power | 3,500.0 W | 3,645.0 W |
| Calculated efficiency | 17.50 J/TH | 13.50 J/TH |
| Electricity / day | $6.72 | $7.00 |
| Electricity / month | $201.60 | $209.95 |
| Gross revenue / day | $8.01 | $10.82 |
| Operating profit / day | $1.13 | $3.60 |
| Break-even electricity | $0.0935/kWh | $0.1212/kWh |

200 TH/s reference. Lower hashrate bins also exist; select the figures on your unit label.
The reference uses 3,500.0 W. The table and mathematical differences above use your selected tariff, so all displayed comparison costs update together.
270 TH/s nominal specification at 25°C. Real wall power varies with temperature and firmware.
The reference uses 3,645.0 W. The table and mathematical differences above use your selected tariff, so all displayed comparison costs update together.
Lower J/TH means less electrical energy per unit of hashing work. It does not account for purchase price, installation, noise, cooling infrastructure or resale value. Enter comparable hardware quotes and inspect the exact bin before using an estimate in a budget.
