Bitmain and MicroBT in a Fierce CompetitionBitmain's launches come after a long-standing battle with competitor, MicroBT. MicroBT had gained a large portion of the market in 2019 after selling 600,000 M20 series units. They also launched their M30 models back in December, and have already begun taking orders for this next powerful product that will be delivered in March 2020.
According to Pangolin Miner, the biggest distributor for MicroBT, the M30S costs $2,430 and has an 86 TH/s power, consuming 38W/T. Some of the M30Ss will be delivered from March until May, with larger orders being shipped in June.

Industry reactions to are better yet more expensive equipment remains to be seen, as the BTC went down from its most recent growth of above $10,000.

As a matter of fact, data from BTC.com reveals that the difficulty of mining for BTC has been stagnated for almost a now, staying at the same level since January 28.
However, the BTC halving is approaching, so the mining rewards on the network will be reduced from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC per block, which means AntMiner S9s and other older mining machines will no longer be profitable if BTC prices don’t greatly increase. As a result, miners will need to make an upgrade to their mining equipment, or consider dropping out of BTC mining altogether.
