Image Transcription:

[ A Tibetian woman clutches what appears at first to be a bunch of small white flowers, but upon closer inspection, it’s the white plugs of PC power supplies dangling below her rough, well-muscled hands. She is wearing a yellow hat tied under her chin with a faded white scarf and has a traditional but ragged Tibetan-style jacket tied around her waist. It is sky blue with yellow trim. A pair of dark pink gloved hands reaches in from outside the frame ready to receive the PC parts, and a figure wearing a similar color bends over facing away from us in the upper right hand corner. Everyone appears to be standing on and among stacks of brown cardboard boxes. The background is unfocused but appears to be industrial scaffolding. ]

Yeah these are for asics. (Some work on GPUs though)

They’re just Power Supply Units. You can see the plugs are 8pin. They’re not specific to bitcoin mining at all. All higher power GPUs have 8pin sockets

You can just about make out the faded 'BitMain' lettering on the PSUs and there's a box labelled 'AntMiner' to the right, so these are in fact bitmining PSUs.
