wow, that was like a spam advertisement/cold caller... but on IRC - haven't seen one of those in years :o

it's from matrix

hmmm twitter.com/storagereview/status/1552685051195834368

meh. Ampere Altra Max has 128 cores but only 16MB L3 cache

Ampere Altra has 80 cores and 32MB L3 cache

so even the heavy duty server ARM designs are cache starved

stupid

I find it a bit odd that my Ryzen 3950X is still one of the best miners despite having been released an eternity ago

<garth> "I find it a bit odd that my..." <- I wonder if that may be a glimpse of the future

I can totally see AMD/Intel (forcedfully) having to design their CPUs to not be good at randomx

Like govs putting them a "can only do 10kh/s max" and companies having to design around that

s/can/must/

Then the actually good at rx CPUs, would be reserved for government miners

s/at/RandomX/, s/rx//

That's not how it works

RandomX is based off of common cpu instructions. Making a new cpu "bad at RandomX" would basically imply making a new cpu that is slower and less efficient than the previous generation

Which makes absolutely no sense for a company trying to sell a product (assuming they don't resort to actual scamming)

Also, the key metric for pow miners is efficiency, not speed

Future headline: Monero Project adjusts RandomX PoW to unnerf newest CPUs

no no. Monero Project releases CPU microcode update to unnerf newest CPUs

there's probably enough space in the microcode ROM of a typical Intel CPU to erase all 32bit support and replace with dedicated randomX machine

<merope> "RandomX is based off of common..." <- Intel can compete with AMD just fine while being terrible at RandomX

Efficiency wise

I'm not saying they can prevent their CPUs from running the miner but surely they can do some "optimizations" to reduce efficiency (and reserve the "unlocked" variants for government miners)

right now it seems AMD is beating Intel on power efficiency. in laptops at least, I haven't paid attention to desktop in a while\

Also govs have the pews pews, why couldn't they force them to make worse CPUs? They already pinned down TSMC

hyc: I think that's just due to them having the latest manufacturing nodes

Intel is having a hard time with their fabs

Why bother ? Instead, tell people they can not use monero or pew pew. Or tell people htey can only walk backwards or pew pew. Or any number of things.

* I think that's just due to them having the latest manufacturing processes

moneromooo: There is just two x86 manufacturers

Very easy to capture compared to billions of people

I'm sure they can reach a deal..

What are you gonna do, build your own CPU? I wish.

So yeah just wanted to point that, Zen 2 is better at mining and yet Zen 3 blows it out of the water on all other tasks, clearly some design choices can lead to achieve better efficiency despite worse mining.

RX hashrate ≠ general perfomance

* your own (better) CPU? I

s/RX hashrate ≠ general perfomance/Better at RandomX ≠ Better CPU/

* There is just two x86 companies

<gonbatfire[m]> "Also govs have the pews pews..." <- Because doing so would directly kill the company's business

<gonbatfire[m]> "I'm not saying they can prevent..." <- Just look how well that worked out for nvidia and their crippled drivers

> <@endor00:monero.social> Because doing so would directly kill the company's business

Not sure, that's like saying govs are killing the food industry because they make them comply with FSA, govs regulate industries all the time

"Anti-terrorism act: Don't sell too good(1) RandomX CPUs to consumers, only to gov™️ approved actors (Amazon n' shit)"

> Just look how well that worked out for nvidia and their crippled drivers

Nvidia did that as an afterthought, look at how AMD crippled their cards in mining instead, quite effective

RDNA2 suck for mining, compared to RDNA1, it was designed to suck from the start, and yet it's vastly superior in all other aspects

s/suck/sucks/

To make it clear, I'm not advocating for a switch to PoS or some crap, just pointing what could become a very dangerous threat, but we would still be ∞ times better than with ASICs, fuck ASICs
