Title: Just how much faster are ASICs than GPUs and CPUs? Post by: mczarnek on November 22, 2014, 08:23:56 PM Fastest ASIC versus fastest CPU?

A quad core intel gets around 20Mhs. One of the top ASIC's is around 6,000,000Mhs. In that scenario 6,000,000/20=300,000. Edit: I forgot to add the hardware comparison link. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Title: Re: Just how much faster are ASICs than GPUs and CPUs? Post by: guitarplinker on November 23, 2014, 01:48:01 AM Adding onto what os2sam said, if the top ASIC does 6,000,000 MH/s, then this ASIC would be about...
300,000 times faster than a quad core Intel CPU and 8571 times faster than a Radeon 7970 GPU hashing at 700MH/s. Then there's efficiency as well, obviously ASICs are much more efficient than anything else that can hash. Title: Re: Just how much faster are ASICs than GPUs and CPUs?

GH/s/Watt maybe ? no ASIC is 6 PTH/s ... you are talking of a device with many ICs ...(integrated Circuit) Title: Re: Just how much faster are ASICs than GPUs and CPUs?

GH/s/Watt maybe ? no ASIC is 6 PTH/s ... you are talking of a device with many ICs ...(integrated Circuit) That number is 6TH/s, not 6PH/s. Think you might have read it wrong.

Post by: cyberpinoy on November 25, 2014, 06:10:40 AM This can get complicated, chip for CPU comparison or miner against CPU comparison, either way the ASIC beats the CPU hands down. 300,000 to 1,000,000 times the speed. I only have 1 kind of miner that has just 1 ASIC Chip in it. And its very outdated now, I use them on triplemining cause its useless anywhere else. we are so far ahead now you can compare ASIC chips to each other. Comparing ASICs against CPUS is like comparing cows to birds.
