[xolominer] Mining Hardware comparison

[quote=“johnnycoin, post:80, topic:483”][quote=“masterth3, post:78, topic:483”]And knowing now what are the best hardware to mining primecoin the hardware that gets realy XPM. Because if you see some accounts some people are gething 5 to 9 XPM /H so theres good hardware still.

Somebody can help? : )[/quote]

Seems the wiki is somewhat useless (i am total noob so could be wrong), but the numbers on the wiki are reflective of prior difficulty levels. Apparently, all the processing numbers change when the difficulty changes.

I cannot tell if the relative performance displayed in the wiki would still be the same today with a higher difficulty.[/quote]

The wiki is still a good reference for relative performance. Just don’t expect to get near the chains per day that the wiki lists.

I found this video on youtube.

the only measure you should trust is the XPM/day

Hi all I have a doubt in my computer has a processor
Core 2 Q9550 looked in comparison tables me he would give me 0.756 chains / d
more on rpool miner in this scoring 0.03 chains / d

to connect the pool I use this command line:

primeminer_x64.exe -poolip=rpool.net -poolport=8336 -pooluser=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -poolpassword=0 -genproclimit=4

I have to write something else?
I use only complementing Windows 7 64-bit and xolominer v8.

the comparison table is kinda outdated and now is difficulties 10.2XX

Can someone with more experience judge this CPU for primecoin mining:

Is it worth to invest in machine based on this cpu and expect some gain in longterm?
Would you use this CPU for XPM mining?

Thank you.

If it was free. The processor is on an older architecture, 80 watts, and only 1.6ghz. It doesn’t even have hyperthreading. It isn’t going to be very profitable.

Thanks,

I’m just trying to peace out in what rig to invest, I also have offer for http://ark.intel.com/products/47922/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5650-(12M-Cache-2_66-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI) based rig but it is 4x the price and it seems like electric bill would be quite larger.

ARM Quadcore Cortex A9 RK3188 1.6GHZ(probably)

Approximately 120 primes/s, 2000 test/s, 0-120 5-chains/h, 0.004 chains/d

Couple Ubuntu boxes running xolominer/primeminer:

Dual Xeon CPU 5150 @ 2.66GHz, 4 cores, no HT: 1077 primes/s, 17198 tests/s, 300 5-chains/h, 0.038 chains/d
Single Xeon CPU E3-1230 @ 3.20GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads: 1903 primes/s, 30796 tests/s, 420 5-chains/h, 0.060 chains/d

Any idea why the E3-1230 is not proportionally faster than the older 5150? The newer E3-1230 has the same number of cores and a faster clock. The CPU Mark score for the E3-1230 is 8089 while the dual 5150 is 3493. I was expecting ~2.3 times the number of chains per day on the E3-1230 vs the dual 5150. Any idea why it’s not even close to that? Both boxes are not running anything else.

One benchmark is not necessarily applicable to all workloads. On a clock normalized basis the Sandy Bridge processor is about 30% faster than the Core 2 one which sounds about right.

Here’s some stats from servers I have access to:

2 x Intel E5620 - Each has 4 cores, 8 threads - 2.4 GHz

Dear all Peercoin members!

Please excuse my poor English, i’m a newbie in CPU mining, i intend to buy a few AMD opteron CPU to start mining because my friend gave me an dual socket G34 mobo.

if you have free time, plz tell me how many XPM i could get in day in current diff with 2x opteron 6212 ( with 8 core per cpu), or maybe 2x6234 (12 core per CPU)

Has anyone tried mining yacoin with this opteron, if the answer is yes so how many kh/s per second?
Kind regards and have a nice day!

Hi bigradeon,

According to this http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Opteron+6212 an Opteron 6212 is something about ~60% of an i7 4770 performance

I’m getting today abt 2350 primes/s 37500 tests/s 0.076chains/d from an i7 4770@debian7 so, I think you should calculate roughly 60% of this performace for each 8core AMD processor. You can do the math for 6234 too, for a rough estimation.

Thank you for your quick reply, your link just became that much more useful to me. A few days ago I still thought that a combo with opteron processor will do work better than desktop cpu, for example fx 8350. After 5 minutes playing with mining calculator tool, i knew that my opteron is loweer than 8350 or 9370

Welcome bigradeon. I saw that server4you gives a similar Opteron dedicated server for 30day trial here http://www.server4you.com/dedicated-server/pro-server.php so you could check for yourself. (and give us some feedback :slight_smile: )

There are times that actual testing may be far different than benchmark comparing.

welcome sbinjodie,

here we go again… ::slight_smile:

read this (#2) -> http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=501.msg8529;topicseen#msg8529

the only measure you should trust is the XPM/day

  • xolokram

2 x xeon L5639 = 12 cores/24 threads
os = windows server 2003 x64
my result is terrible
chains per day = 0.07
is this normal ?
