At the same time, the CPU is cheaper and more energy efficient
The price of Bitcoin is growing every day, but so far there has not been any boom in mining on video cards. But, as it turned out, the flagship AMD processor is perfect for mining one of the new cryptocurrencies.
16-core Ryzen 9 7950X shows good profitability when mining Qbic cryptocurrency thanks to support for AVX512 instructions. At the moment we are talking about 3 dollars per day. This is not just a lot at the moment — this is more than using the RTX 4090 on either coin. The profitability of Nvidia's flagship video card now reaches, at best, $1.7-1.9, while the card consumes a large amount of energy, and itself is three times more expensive than an AMD processor. An important aspect is that the processor consumes less than 100 W during mining.
It is reported that demand for the Ryzen 9 7950X is growing, and the processor is simply disappearing from store shelves.
