Ok, please add software mining & OS to submit. And GPU GTX1060 you mean 780 Hash/s as hashrate?

i7-2600k Win7 Ultimate 64-bit: - 150 H/s using MinerGate - 250 H/s using Claymore Cryptonote CPU miner v3.5 (4 threads used)
i7-6800k Win7 Pro 64-bit: - 260 H/s using MinerGate - 360 H/s using Claymore Cryptonote CPU miner v3.5 (7 threads used)
Note that the 360 above was achieved by using 7 threads (it was getting about 330 at the default of 6). I plan to eventually try to bump this up and see what happens but I doubt it will increase much if at all above 7 since this CPU only had 15MB of cache, and most of what I have read indicated that XMR mining relies heavily on cache, needing 2MB per thread to produce. So, the 7 / 360 is probably max for this system but I will check it eventually and report back here if there are any changes.
As you can see, there's quite a large difference in productivity between these 2 miners. Granted, MinerGate has a GUI that is quite easy to use (which is why I was on it for over 1 month due to my newness to mining). But, once I got familiar with running Claymore's Dual GPU miner for ETH, I decided to give his CPU miner for XMR a try and now very glad I did. Granted, with the current price of XMR, not going to get rich off this but until a good and stable CPU miner for ZEC is released, might as well point my CPUs somewhere when not being used. Bottom line is that anyone interested in mining XMR with CPUs should absolutely move to Claymore, since it is probably going to bump your production anywhere between 40-65%!

Excellent, good detailed analysis. Benchmarks added

Hello, Sorry for my NOOB Question https://i.imgsafe.org/04fb55bc44.jpgI do now test with a Virtual Machine to know how it is work CPU Mining. Use Wolf´s CPU Miner. I have give the miner 5 Threads in the VM, is a Xeon, Ubuntu 16.10. Now i don´t know is my Hash Rate total 150 +- H/s or is this the Hash Rate from one Thread. Or i have 5x 150 H/s so Total of 850 H/s +- Mining in Moneropool and See different Hash Rates, one time 416 H/s, one time 833 H/s, other time 1,22 KH/s. And the Last time Share Submitted says me different times, 5 Minutes, 2 Minutes, one Minute...i hope this is OK and the Machine Works right. Sorry for Posting here in the Thread, i hope i´m right and Sorry for BAD English!

Sorry for Posting here in the Thread, i hope i´m right and Sorry for BAD English! hey, can you post your configuration? don't worry about moneropool, those changes on hashrate display are usual. I mine on dwarfpool and the hashrate value is more accurate there. If you want, you can post on Wolf's thread too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632724.0

Hello, it is a VPS Server with Xeon 2620v2 an i have 6 vCores. One Thread for System, and the others to test Mining. My Friend work at the VPS Provider and gives me a Simple Free Account for anything. The individual values are added together or counts only the value of a thread. Even if I want to enter the values into your table

Interesting, according your previous screenshot It looks like there is only one thread on miner. For cpu miners, It will always show what current speed it is hashing & the thread that found that share. Yet, for each CPU It is necessary to know the right amount of threads based on cpu model.

i would love to get this mirrored to github pages
i dont have anything coded yet, but with some static site generator like jekyll with github pages support this should be doable easily
it would also be a merged website for zcash and monero benchmarks (both your sites which im aware of)
a single CORS call would be done to some server with a script (also to be included in the repo) to submit new benchmarks for this mirror
the server would also scrape your websites a few times per day and check if new (unadded) benchmarks are available
this preserves the data in the event of a failure of the current servers and makes the data available to everyone in a easy to read and use JSON syntax (in the code) as well as on the website
what do you think of this idea? if you support it a json export via php script (?) would be superb to ease the process of scraping

Interesting idea, however It requires time to make it work properly and honestly I don't have time available. I barely got time to update website, anyway thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Great job with the benchmarks.
Things are looking up in the linux world, the new version of sgminer is tight, and works well enough under the various flavors of ubuntu 14.04lts (so far so good with xubuntu, although I wonder if mint 17.3 might be a tad better) and catalyst 15. I think that has potential to give new life to the less expensive cards on the list. It's easy enough to order a case of 480's off NewEgg, harder to find those bargains on ebay.
I picked up a bunch of 7850's with elpida ram for ~75 each on ebay. Building up an el-cheapo special rig. $75 per card. $20 MB. $12 HP server PSU (900 watts yowsa). $10 CPU. Fingers crossed my crappy $10 ram works. I dunno. 1.2 Kh/s for $472 is kinda cool, in a pathetic dorky linux sorta way. Well let's say $482 with a nifty wooden crate, cuz I'm not doing the milk crate thing. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
I dunno that linux is any faster. More tools in windows to fine tune the cards; with linux you gotta flash the rom (or not) and figure out the whole intensity/worksize/wathamacallit thing. (OGAG let the cat out of the bag the other day; r=c*w*4, where r is rawintensity, c is number of compute units, w is worksize. 4 if you're running 2 threads, 8 if you're running one. There's like 40 hours of my life I want back,) Main thing is, less overhead. Gotta match that with the right cards I think.
Not completely convinced the 7850 should be crowned the el cheapo king, but it's gotta be close

for me its either 7870/270X or 7950/7970/280/280X, got some off ebay for 40 and 60€, same idea here though i will re-purpose my existing nvidia rigs for these cards once i sold them (completely)

Hi, nice idea for the site, but I think it needs some rethinking on colors, font sizes, icons and filters Here are my results: cards - 2 GPU GIGABYTE Radeon RX 480 G1 Gaming 8G hashrate - 1235 h/s mining software - Claymore AMD GPU miner 9.6 parameters - 1300-1340 MHz / 2250 MHz, -5% power limit (~220W) os - Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit I might suggest to add icons to OS, cards and maybe colors to the miners, plus TDP need to be wider so info takes 1 line. Plus dropdown filters could be nice and a search field must have I would definetly decrease the white space on the first page, so more useful info is visible wo scrolling! I am seeing in Chrome. Good work!
