For example

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x ( 800-1000 $) 1525 H/s
AMD Ryzen 1700X ( 330 $) 725 H/s

is it profitable to make such investments in mining? I think not.
If there is a given processor, you can receive 15-20 dollars of additional income per month. And to buy this processor for the mining is unreasonable.

It's easier to look for cheap old server boards with 2 processors and mine on it.

Yes, I agree, hence the 150 h/s hashing rate I'm promoting here as an average default value for average CPUs, but I wasn't sure what is he looking for.

Some people prefer to switch to CPU mining rather than GPU mining since GPUs were/are hard to find on the market.
If you compare the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x with a 1080ti then the hash rates are kind of the same, the price as well if you're lucky but normally it exceeds that amount.

The issue is you can't buy a 1080ti since it's always out of stock

Not to mention you can use that CPU for other stuff as well.

If you mine a crypto currency with a hashrate 150 h/s, then it does not even pay for electricity costs

about AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x. I found 3 models on the market

I found 3 models on the market

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16 core (16-Core) CPU with 3.40 GHz
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12 core (12-Core) CPU with 3.50 GHz
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8 core (Octa Core) CPU with 3.80 GHz

These processors have a special TR4 socket. Motherboards for this socket cost $ 400-500. + the cost of a cooler is 40-50 dollars ( 180 W TDP

)

beauty

Therefore, to compare AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1080ti for mining is unrealistic.
