Makes no sense to me why anyone should be excited about coins moving to RandomX. The cost per added hashrate for RandomX is so much higher than that for a GPU mineable coin and if you think the network hashrate of a RandomX coin will be low, think again. Just take a look at the Loki network hashrate as an example of what's in store for all CPU mineable coins. It's 71 MH vs 11KH from a single Ryzen 3900X!! How many Ryzen 3900X do you need to make enough coins to ROI?

not sure what your issue is here, yeah the ryzen is a beast at random x , but its a beast at every other cpu algo out there anyways. its 12 cores on a consumer chip basically we have never seen this type of power for non server builds.

i mean its expected it would destroy every cpu tuned algo out there, which random x is and it does, you can buy a
ryzen 3600 for 229 and get 6k on randomx , not sure what the issue is

The issue here is the amount of hardware that needs to be bought for a CPU algo. For a GPU algo, all you need to increase hashrates is to buy the GPU and riser card. Now, you will have to get the whole shebang (PSU, memory, MB etc.) How will this be ever profitable? Will there ever be a riser card/board equivalent for CPUs?
