ASRock AMD BC-250 — PS5-Derived APU Mining Card

The ASRock AMD BC-250 is a purpose-built mining APU card based on the same silicon powering the PlayStation 5. Packing a 24CU RDNA2 iGPU alongside a 6-core Zen 2 CPU into a single 16GB GDDR6 unified memory pool, the BC-250 delivers dependable 24/7 compute performance with a rock-solid mining-class form factor. Originally deployed in rack-mount mining rigs, these cards represent outstanding value for builders looking to repurpose PS5-grade silicon at a fraction of the cost.

Key Features

PS5-Class Silicon
AMD "Oberon / Cyan Skillfish" APU — the same die as the PlayStation 5, cut to 24CU for mining deployment
16GB Unified GDDR6 Pool
256-bit bus at 14 Gbps / 448 GB/s bandwidth — configurable CPU/GPU split via BIOS for mining or compute workloads
6-Core Zen 2 CPU
Runs RandomX and CPU-assisted algorithms natively — also capable of general-purpose compute and light desktop use
RDNA2 Feature Set
Hardware ray tracing cores, Vulkan 1.4 support, FSR-compatible — comparable rasterisation performance to an RX 6600
Mining-Grade Build Quality
Engineered for continuous 24/7 rack operation — passive aluminium heatsink fin stack, direct APU die contact
Overclockable to 2000MHz+
Stock kernel reaches 2000 MHz GPU; kernel patch + governor unlocks up to 2230 MHz for maximum compute throughput
