CPU at 350Mh/s???

[STP]

Everyone has been stating that GPU is only way to hash and CPU hashrate is too low to really be worth it now. I am pulling up to 350Mh/s on my i7 975 extreme OC'd to 4GHz. Its water cooled and is stable. Are their other disadvantages I am not thinking about like power consumption? Is it more or less the same as a GPU power wise?

Can't be true. My 2600k at 3.8GHz, mining with all 8 threads, pulls a whopping 66 Mhash/s. Very variable though, shoots up to 100 and down to 35-40 at times, with 60s on average.

(edit) with "-g no" (see below) it gets a meek 16Mhash/s, which is the true number... This is Intel's latest and greatest CPU BTW.

Has to be some sort of bug. When I was using my gtx 460 to mine, if I clocked it to high the driver would crash. When the screen came back on guiminer would report a hash rate of 200 Ghash. This would continue until i rebooted the computer. I'm not saying your issue is the same, only that falsely reported hash rates are possible if things aren't running correctly.

Well using bitcoin-miner.exe It shows 325-350MH/s. If I switch to rpcminer-cpu.exe it reports about 5.5Mh/s. Must be a bug like m4dhatter said.

its not a bug. by default the cpu miner will use an available OpenCL device.

add the following flag for CPU only: -g no

you can also specify the number of threads you want with this: -t 8

on my notebook (i7 and a gt425m), i do: -t 7 -g no

OK that makes more sense. I had not added the flags.

What about the Xeon Phi??? More Threads than my 5850.
Could get a decent hash rate off that?

This is a really old thread

Lol no

What rate should i be expecting from my gtx 460 ?

Something like 70MH/s
