14:10:37 <hyc> single-socket servers. could show up in a workstation build, eventually
14:15:20 <sech1> SPECrate 2017 int_base over 740
14:16:03 <sech1> this is 2x64 core Zen2 EPYC level
14:16:39 <sech1> It can probably do 100+ kh/s RandomX
14:19:20 <hyc> then that's 144 cores vs 128 cores
14:19:34 <hyc> I guess the big win should be on power efficiency
16:09:31 <garth> Man if eventually there are massive Google or Amazon server banks with these things I get nervous about 51% attacks whenever there is the organization and desire to do so 
16:10:28 <garth> I love RandomX but I am jealous of the fact that SHA256 ASICs are single purpose built. 
16:11:12 <garth> Contrast that with a massive CPU farm that could be cross purposed. 
16:11:42 <garth> Eventually Moneros success could put it out of the reach of adversarial cross purpose but it may be many many years before that happens 
16:33:34 <nikg83[m]> What happened to sha3 ASICS ? Did they come out ?
16:36:11 <hyc> in general, or specifically for mining?
16:36:42 <hyc> I suspect SHA2 is still too widely used for anyone to make the investment in SHA3
16:38:49 <nikg83[m]> hyc: For mining
