KS7 is the newer high-output Kaspa option, while KS5M remains a known 15 TH/s platform with existing firmware coverage.
Do not assume KS7 firmware availability from older KS5 firmware names. Use the ICERIVER firmware portal until a direct public KS7 archive is listed.
This comparison uses the model table fields stored in this site generator: algorithm, target coin, reference hashrate, reference power draw, efficiency, release window, and firmware availability. It does not rank profitability; electricity price, pool fee, uptime, network difficulty, coin price, and local cooling can change the final operating result.
| Model | Hashrate | Power | Efficiency | Firmware path |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KS7 | 30 TH/s | 3500 W | 0.117 J/GH | Firmware notes |
| KS5M | 15 TH/s | 3550 W | 0.236 J/GH | Firmware notes |
Use the table as a hardware shortlist, then open each model page before downloading firmware. Similar names can still have different power planning, firmware packages, release windows, and cooling expectations.
