Digital currency mining has always been a patented graphics card, CPU processor due to low general-purpose computing performance is not suitable, but now it was found that AMD's top fever processor Ryzen ThreadRipper wedged mine is not weak at all.
Test shows, ThreadRipper 1950X's 16-core 32-hole Monroe mining efficiency can reach 1483.5 H / s, while the GTX 1080 graphics card with a total efficiency of 2006.8H / s, the thread tearing people to force.
More impressive is the power consumption, 1950X mining the entire system consumes only 246W, coupled with GTX 1080 but 355W after the video card, which The processor itself has not exceeded 160W.
To know that in the simple copy machine, the power consumption of the 1950X can reach about 350W, 200W of power consumption means that Save $ 0.7 per day on electricity bills.
According to the current market, 1950X if you continue mining, after a year and a half can recover the cost.
As for why ThreadRipper mining performance, speculation is likely to be 32MB super large capacity L3 cache to play a role.
In addition, as 16 core 32 threads are rich in resources, full mining at the same time, watching a 4K movie is still very smooth.
