Are older CPU's really that slow in cryptonight?
I have a rig with an old Xeon 5645 (2.4 Ghz, 6 core, 12 Mb cache AES, SSE 4.2) that gives 200 H/s with xmr-stak / xmrig.
A tiny mobile i7 7500u 2 cores makes 135 and a Ryzen 1700 around 530.
Are newest CPU's really more efficient using AES, does software use other instructions for cryptonight, or what?
I was really expecting more from a 6 core / 12 Mb CPU, but I already checked, and yes, it's average for this CPU.
Number of cores really doesn't matter. What matters most is amount of L3 cache size and clock speed of the processor when running mining software. The Intel Xeon 5600 Family maxes out at 12MB L3 cache. That means 6 single threads or some combination of single and dual threads that fully load the 12MB L3 cache. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/TYPE-Xeon%205600.htmlThe best processor from this family to mine with is the X5687 (not the X5690/X5680/X5670 etc). The reason is clock speed when mining. The X5687 has 4 cores but will run at 3.733 GHz with 3 or 4 cores. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20X5687%20-%20AT80614005919AB.htmldoing 1x, 1x, 2x, 2x threads on an X5687 will give you around 275 H/s All the 5600 hex core processors will run at 3.6 GHz (or less) with 3 or more cores. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20X5690%20-%20AT80614005913AB%20(BX80614X5690).htmlhttp://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20X5680%20-%20AT80614005124AA%20(BX80614X5680).htmlhttp://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20X5670%20-%20AT80614005130AA%20(BX80614X5670).htmlThat means all 6-core processors, even the 6-core X5690, will be slower than the 4-core X5687.

Can someone please provide full settings for amd vega 64 cards? I can't get this to work... Any miner is fine, sbrminer or xmrstak, as long as it works. Help

This is the latest 2.4.2 release for Windows. It says 64 because it runs on Windows 64-bit OSes: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases/download/2.4.2/xmr-stak-win64.zip

change the algo. Haven is using a variant of cryptonight-heavy.

I've merged also Haven PR for our version of XMR-STAK, but it's only working with Nvidias... there is some problem with AMDs, that needs to be fixed.
