thanks for sharing it but aren't the opteron cpu better in price/hasharate
Yea but they are power hungry. But you can buy a new socket G34 4 cpu motherboard for under $80.00 of course you would have to deal with non standard format and non standard power connectivity and every time I thought of it I quickly talked myself out of it. The more standard boards are more expensive to the point its not worth it. It's worth doing if you could get a deal on a decommissioned server for cheap. But you can purchase a dual node dual cpu open compute socket 2011 Wiwynn server new in the box for under $200.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wiwynn-SV7210-Two-Node-Open-Compute-Server-Dual-LGA-2011-/391296440423All you need to do is buy 4 cheap E5-2600 V1 cpu's and some cheap ddr 3 ram and a SSD and 240 volt power source, will run Linux and windows 7 just fine. The only reason I have have not bought several is I moving away from socket 2011 and moving to socket 2011-3. EDIT: Every time I look at those open compute servers I am SO tempted........I must not buy.........must not........will power must have will power.....LOL

Interesting I am curious about using this to mine XMR and switch to new alts for early dibs on the mining

Given it hasn't even been released yet (later this week), how are we going to share hashrates?

1x AMD R9 290 = 870 H/ TDP 300 1x AMD RX 480 = 700 H/ TDP 150 1x AMD R9 470 = 650 H/ TDP 130 1x AMD R9 280x = 600 H/ TDP 250 1x AMD R9 280 = 550 H/ TDP 250 CPU mining it's worthless, as always Better to scale up with GPUs (7/8 per system) than with CPUs (up to 2 in very costly, and power hungry, configs). If you max out CPUs you loose hashrate on the GPUs, that's why CPU mining it's ridicolous compared to GPU; if you're using a botnet then good for you, but we're not talking about legit operations, not hacking others

While GPUs are much better, Ryzen may be able to close the gap. At least to an extent with Cryptonight.

Far as just trying to cram a mining CPU into a regular GPU mining rig we got awhile before we see any ideal AM4 based motherboards for mining rigs XMR aside, there are rising new altcoins that are open game for CPU's. You may want to keep mentioning that CPU mining is inferior but for the rest of us who care to utilize the CPU please let us speculate and archive any hash rate reports we can find in here or whatever new thread when Ryzen is actually out. I'd really just like a clean thread of just Ryzen hashrates without this GPU vs. CPU debate cluttering the first page and beyond

Hi Povertybyte
Sure, my intention wasn't to bash, just to report a conclusion that could help others in this sector, while considering to invest heavily, or not, in State-Of-The-Art CPUs.
With this goal surely the CPU, given it's name "Central Processing Unit", it's fundamental, but just for mining purposes unfortunately not.
I am pretty sure that the Ryzen architecture could bring benefits, but I see that the multi-threading implementation for these architectures needs a lot of phisical and logical cores, so it could be interesting surely for the server derivations with higher TDPs and raw power. From what I've seen RYZEN seems just a stop-gap measure in opposition to the Intel dominance, because of an i7 7700K has the edge on a lof of applications, due the single thread performance.
What could really move something could be the new Intel 7950x with 24 threads, potentially, not a 95W TDP RYZEN.
The main issue is the fact that when we'll have that, there will be VOLTA refresh and the successor of VEGA.

I'll let others test them this time ... for anyone interested the AMD RYZEN 7 1800X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 95W YD180XBCAEWOF Desktop Processor sold out fast eta on restock 10 th of March, they still have the other two in stock.. you might find more on Amazon but they cost more then new egg I run a app on firefox that prices Amazon on new egg .

Unfortunately the reviews are stating the TDP figures are pure fiction for Ryzen. So I wouldn't use those TDP numbers to figure efficiency.

Keeping it all in L3 cache or below definitely sped it up on the platforms I've tested. For example: Intel Xeon E3-1240 v1 went from 129 H/s to 231 H/s (going from 7 to 4 threads, respectively). L3 cache size is 8MB." This is the most important thing with cpu mining cryptonight, with both my E5's combined I have 70 mb of L3 so 70/2 = 35 so I can run all 32 threads and get the best performance, with my older pair of E5 2670's with a total of 40mb of L3 for both it seemed to run best with ~18 threads and any more the hash rate would drop. Also you compare my ES 2667 V3's to the retail ones in the above list my has rate is a about 50-60 H/s faster even tho mine only boost up to 3.0 Ghz and the retail version boost up to I think 3.6 Ghz. The thing to think about is that the retail 2667's have 20mb of L3 vs 35mb of L3 with my ES cpu's.

That explains why my own CPU does not get more hashing past a certain point. I suppose the Ryzen CPU's are fairly efficient power wise for CPU mining but it would have been nice if they could simply produce double the hash rates they got right now. I wonder now if disabling hyperthreading can be done to actually cram all its power into 8 threads. I could probably try that with my old i7

No it won't. The algo is cache bound, it has nothing to do with compute power. Once the cache overflows performance goes down. Optimum thread count is cache size MB / 2 MB. No CPU can mine cryptonight efficiently with max threads, hyper or not.
