14:20:42 <Lyza> y'all seen this? Supposedly an ASIC for RandomX. It's not very efficient. Dunno what it costs. But still. https://www.f2pool.com/miner?id=334
14:55:42 <rbrunner> Lyza: Where did you stumble over this?
14:57:53 <rbrunner> Some more info: https://www.multminer.com/products/p000004
15:00:10 <sech1> Xeons
15:00:12 <sech1> not asic
15:01:06 <sech1> 192 cores total, 2.6 GHz
15:01:25 <sech1> 6x4 CPUs, so 8-core Xeons
15:02:26 <rbrunner> So somebody finally did the logical step: Pack together a bunch of good CPUs in a convenient and small package.
15:02:36 <sech1> these are not good CPUs for RandomX
15:09:51 <gingeropolous> they did the profitable step. packaged together a bunch of cheap CPUs and try to pawn them off as an ASIC. Though for 250$, 75kh/s aint bad. But at 1 kw?
15:15:08 <sech1> it's not at 1 kw
15:15:20 <sech1> they say 1200-4200W
15:15:38 <sech1> and something tells me RandomX is closer to 4200W because it's a power hungry algorithm
15:17:10 <sech1> 8xRyzen 3900X rig will do 100 kh/s at 1 kw and will cost less

15:32:19 <Lyza> ah I see, that's interesting. I couldn't get the multiminer com link to load right and couldn't decipher any of it
18:56:41 <ArticMine> "MultMiner C4 contains 6 computing power CPU units, using American Intel CPU chips, and high-quality system integration architecture makes C4's machine performance more stable and powerful. It is currently the preferred configuration in the CPU mining market.
18:56:41 <ArticMine> Machine hardware parameters:
18:56:41 <ArticMine> CPU: 192 cores, 384 threads, 2.6G main frequency;
18:56:41 <ArticMine> Hash rate unit: 6 4CPU units;
18:56:42 <ArticMine> Power: 1200W-4200W, floating according to different algorithms, normally around 2400W;
18:56:44 <ArticMine> "
18:57:59 <ArticMine> This is no ASIC. It is a series of CPUs packed into a box that from the outside looks like an ASIC. Yes it mines Monero
19:47:14 <gingeropolous> it honestly looks like some HP server blades in a small cluster enclosure.
