My CPU is Ivy Bridge with AES-NI.
It's an i7 3630QM. But maybe 6 MB L3 Cache isn't enough.
I wanna try GPU's. They are cheaper to buy and are more usable. You can extend them easy. And the power consumtion wouldn't be much more than CPU's.
Is there no hardware camparison list?
What do you guys use for mining and what's the hashrate of it?
My rig pulls 1150 watts at the wall.
175 per AMD 280x GPU for a total of 1050 watts (6xGPU) Average about 3030 H/s with the GPU's
100 watts for the i5 Intel CPU running 2 of the 4 cores for mining. I pull about 100 H/s with this CPU so you should be getting better than that.
2 cores are open to run the OS and the rest of the system. I've found that 8GB of ram run the overall system better than the 4GB I had in there initially.
Total system hash on average 3130 H/s
