The Antminer L3+ Mining Hashrateis the successor of the L3, which was a huge success. It was launched in June 2017 with a number of critical, long-awaited features and a few enhancements. As with the L3, it is powered by BM1485 chips and operates in a manner identical to its predecessor. In terms of performance, the Antminer L3+ has a hashrate of 504 Mh/s and consumes 800W of power, whilst the older L3 has a hashrate of 512 Mh/s and consumes half the power. At the time of its launch, the Antminer L3+ was among the most efficient Scrypt-based cryptocurrency miners available. It is worth noting, however, that newer and more sophisticated versions of ASIC miners have been launched.
When we discuss crypto mining, the first thing that comes to mind is Bitcoin or Ethereum mining. There are, however, additional mineable coins and tokens, like Litecoin and Dogecoin. According to CoinMarketCap, Litecoin and Dogecoin are two of the most searched for crypto assets to mine.
Numerous cryptocurrencies utilize a variety of different mining algorithms. Litecoin and Dogecoin, for example, use the Scrypt algorithm rather than the SHA-256 method used by Bitcoin. While some miners are capable of mining multiple cryptos simultaneously due to their use of multiple algorithms on a single device, the majority of miners remain specialized. The majority of miners can only support a limited number of cryptos that are based mainly on the same algorithm. One such example is the Bitmain Antminer L3+. It is a Scrypt-based ASIC miner.

Realities of Running Antminer L3+, Crypto Mining Farm. Power, Noise, Profit.
The Bottom Line
The efficiency of a miner is what determines its quality. This is also frequently employed as a primary comparison criterion. The term "power efficiency" refers to the ratio of a miner's hashrate to its energy usage. A good miner should provide you with a greater hashrate while consuming less electricity. The Antminer L3+ has a power usage of 1.6J/Mh/s in this situation.
By comparison, the L3competitor, the Innosilicon A4 Dominator, does have a hashrate of 280 Mh/s for a power consumption of 1050W. The Innosilicon A4 Dominator uses 30% more power but produces nearly half the hashrate with a power efficiency of 3.75J/Mh/s. In other words, it is quite inefficient in terms of power consumption when matched to the L3+.
In terms of size and mass, the Antminer L3+ weighs approximately 4.4 kg and measures approximately 35 cm x 13 cm x 19 cm. It weighs significantly more and is slightly larger than the previous 2.5kg L3, which measures 23cm x 13.5cm x 16cm. A disadvantage of this miner is that its level of noise can reach 75 to 95 decibels, which is equal to that of a noisy fan.
However, when power efficiency, size, weight, and price are considered, it remains a viable ASIC miner for people mining at home and concentrating on Scrypt-based cryptos. Again, the Antminer L3+ is a 5-year-old miner, which means it is not the best miner available today. Since 2017, several generations of ASIC miners have been released, including the Antminer L3++, Antminer L7, and Innosilicon A6+ LTC Master. Take into account all of these aspects before purchasing any Scrypt ASIC miner.
