Key facts:
Miners can get up to 30% more hashrate compared to the previous version of the CPU.
The Ryzen 9 3950X is positioned as one of the best processors on the market alongside the Intel Xeon.
AMD will launch its new Ryzen 9 3950X processor in November, which could become one of the most powerful CPUs to undermine Monero. This new version reaches 30% more hashrate than the Ryzen 9 3900X, which went into circulation in September, according to mining experts.
The equipment offers 16 CPU cores, 32 threads, 4.7 activations per second (Ghz) and a maximum power (TDP) of 105W. It also works with its own cooling system, called Wrath Prism. All these features allow you to reach a processing power of 1.75 Kh / s in Monero.
Ryzen 9 3950X is positioned as the second most powerful processor in the market, being surpassed only by the Gold 6140 of Intel Xeon that achieves a hashrate of 1.86 Kh / s. Analysts believe that this new version could be very popular both for its capacity and its background. In September AMD launched another of its third generation equipment, the Ryzen 9 3900x, which had a very good acceptance among miners, players and computer enthusiasts.
This equipment has 12 cores, 24 threads and performs up to 4.6 activations per second. Although its performance is lower than the Ryzen 9 3950X and the Ryzen Threadripper, it reaches a hashrate of 1.35 Kh / s. The CPU has had such a high demand that the equipment has been scarce in the network, producing a spiral of speculation. Because of this, you cannot know for sure how much it costs to acquire one of these processors. However, if it is known that the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X will cost about $ 749 at the time of its launch.
Other powerful processors
The miners of Monero are, today, one of the most interested groups in this type of processors, since after the last fork, mining with ASIC cannot be carried out in said network. Although other networks can also be mined with CPUs, without a doubt thanks to the RandomX algorithm mining with processors such as Ryzen 9 3950X is much more profitable in Monero.
For those interested, Intel is one of the companies that has several of the most powerful processors in the market, but also the most expensive. For example, your Xeon® Gold 6140 CPU is the one that has the highest hashrate in the market today, registering 1.86 Kh / s. The product has one 18 cores, 36 threads, can reach up to 3, 70 Gh / z and has a TDP of 140W for the price of more than $ 2,300. Also, the Intel® Xeon® E5-2698 v4 CPU can process up to 1.69 Kh / s of hashrate on Linux operating systems worth more than $ 3,000.
ADM has also managed to position the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X as one of its best and most economical processors. The CPU has 16 cores, about 32 threads, activations every 4.0 Gh / z and a TDP of 180W. In this way, the processor manages to reach a hashrate of 140 Kh / s in Monero. Each of these CPUs can cost about 570 dollars, a price that positions AMD as a cheap option in this ecosystem.
