Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) will reportedly unveil a Bitcoin mining chip next month at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference next month, CoinDesk reported.
Citing the conference's agenda, the news outlet noted that the Santa Clara, California-based Intel will take part in a session entitled, "Bonanza Mine: An Ultra-Low-Voltage Energy-Efficient Bitcoin Mining ASIC."

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices both offer integrated chips to mine Bitcoin, though AMD's Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Su, recently played down the company's role in the space.
Intel (INTC) shares are down slightly less than 1% on Tuesday to $55.22.
Seeking Alpha has reached out to Intel (INTC) with a request for comment for this story.
Separately on Tuesday, Citigroup raised its price target and earnings estimates on Intel (INTC), as the company is seeing strength in desktop notebooks and strength in the enterprise.
