   Intel, one of the world's largest chip makers, is likely to unveil a
   specialized crypto-mining chip at the International Solid-State
   Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in February, according to
   the [2]conference's agenda.

     * One of Intel's "highlighted chip releases" at the conference is
       entitled "Bonanza Mine: An Ultra-Low-Voltage Energy-Efficient
       Bitcoin Mining ASIC." The session is scheduled for Feb. 23.
     * This brings the company into direct competition with the likes of
       Bitmain and MicroBT in the market for bitcoin mining ASICs, or
       application-specific integrated circuits, for the first time.
     * Crypto mining has in the past [3]driven up demand and prices for
       graphics processing units, including Intel's, so much so that it
       attracted the [4]ire of gamers. Unlike its competitor Nvidia, Intel
       has [5]said it doesn't plan to add ether mining limits on its
       graphics cards.
