Some people say that Ryzen processor is good for CPU mining, is anyone here is using this AMD processor now? Is it profitable? how about the hash power produced by this procie is it okay? If anyone here already using it kindly share your experience with this processor. Thanks

Ryzen CPUs have several advantages over Intel for CPU mining, most notably price per core and cache per core.
It's disadvantages, poor AVX2 and no AVX512, aren't typically needed for "CPU" coins. Coins that benefit from
AVX* can usually be mined more efficienty with a GPU.

In short Ryzen CPUs are better for the kind of computing that GPUs can't do well, while Intel CPUs are good at computing
that GPUs can do better.

In overall you could say that, Intel is way better than amd cpu chip am i right? I read lots of discussion about Intel and AMD processor and people argued about their performance in CPU mining, of course there's a lot of opinion, but anyway, thanks to your input.

Hi John,
I guess the first think to ask yourself, is what algo do i want to mine.....then we can possibly help you.
I mine with a Ryzen 1700 and a 1800X, and find they outperform pretty much all intel desktop cpus....of a similar core count
If you use cpuminer-opt, just remember to try the cpuminer-zen option, sometimes it gives better result that the other options, really depends on the algo....
Ideally you need to determine what the main pointer is with your specific algo, is it clock speed bound? memory speed bound? bandwidth bound? cache bound?
eg the 3600 although only 6c/12t outperforms my 1800X 8c/16t for certain algos because it has 32mb cache not 16mb, then again a TR 1900 beats both on other algos if you run quad channel ram.

Jaydee, if you read this, how's about releasing a version of cpuminer which runs directly off say a usb stick,
I don't mean a linux or windows version, rather a dos/machine code executable. that would run at full speed without the overheads associated with an OS (MSDos still works even on Ryzen ssds systems

)
