Apple M1 benchmark: xmrig.com/benchmark/5AVxtn

all 8 cores have the same hashrate?

yes, this is weird

xmrig is trying to figure it out now (it's his M1)

2300 h/s @ 13.1 watts (CPU package only)

how does that compare to Ryzen from efficiency side?

Better than Ryzen. The best Ryzen 3900X rigs are able to do something like 12 kh/s, 100W at the wall which would put CPU at 75W, so ~160 h/s/W (CPU package)

M1 does ~175 h/s/W

16- and 32-core M2 next year will be RandomX monsters

well, maybe not monsters, but I expect 3900X levels with lower power consumption

My 3900X gets 15,200 at I think 80w for cpu

nioc check "CPU Package" line in HWInfo

I will wen cat gets off lap :)

CPU package is usually 20-25W more than just CPU

Ok

It's I/O die that adds these watts

sech1 cpu + soc = 93W

package = 105W

Not bad. So M1 ~ Ryzen in efficiency

not at most efficient cpu frequency

4.0 GHz

When I did experiments with Ryzen, the most efficient was 0.9V on CPU and highest stable frequency at that voltage - usually ~3.7 GHz

and running DDR4 at 2400 MHz with lower voltage on SoC also helps

the only comparison I have is 4.1 GHz was 10 watts more at the wall

8 threads uniform could just be the OS scheduler shuffling things around. does that ench run with pinned threads?

eh wait, that USer Agent says Intel Mac OS X

It also says L2: 32.0 MB for some reason. I guess it's just hwloc glitches with this system

gmaxwell is apparently accusing us of profiting with insider knowledge off the transition to RandomX. what a crock.

also claims a bunch of 7742s hit the market after the randomx switch that were certainly mining

big deal. server chips are much more expensive than desktop chips, would have been a waste of money

as for insider knowledge, none of the RandomX work was hidden from the public so wtf is he talking about

<gmaxwell> oh no, I was saying that I'm confident that people exploited the change for profit. Whats impossible to know is if the people pushing the change (e.g. Howard Chu) were a part of that.

gmaxwell who?

Well, that miners will try to make as much profit of mining is kinda the point anyway.

gmaxwell is a BTC dev

he invented CT

Why would he care even?

Did he have 1000 Vega farm on Monero?

has to keep up the myth that ASIC-resistance is futile

otherwise all of BTC devs look like fools. which they obviously are.

you people are disgusting! wanting miners to get block rewards instead of shady asic manufacturers

hyc is apparently accusing BTC devs of being fools!

:D

anyway, what insider knowledge is he talking about? RandomX was public since December 2018

yeah that makes no sense at all

Even November 1st, 2018 :D

and we had announced our CPU-centric goals back in March 2018

the prototype randprog and randomjs repos were all public too, all the ongoing work process and discussions were public. so wtf.

he does not seem well informed
