Crypto Miners Snatch Up New AMD CPUs Due to High Efficiency and Profitability for Mining
- Crypto miners are buying up AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs due to their efficiency and AVX2/AVX512 instruction set support for mining rigs
- A 7950X CPU can generate almost twice as much mining profit compared to an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU
- Zen 5 CPUs rumored to enter production in Q2 2023, will offer 2x the AVX512 performance of Zen 4
- Radeon GPU supply already tight in China due to US export ban on RTX 4090s, increasing demand for Ryzen CPUs
- 7950X widely out of stock online as crypto values skyrocket, confirming miners snapping them up for Qubic mining
