Two Xeon E5 2667 V3 mining Monero using 30 threads of 32.

Those two threads not used by the cpu miner are used by the gpu miner for two RX 480's'

The gpu's from the same pc, the one that is my daily use pc that I am using to type this, here is the comparison.

So the dual xeons have a tiny bit better performance than the two RX480's and using less wattage.

So yes I am interested. LOL

If i'm interpreting this right, you're getting 1 KH/s with 2 Xeons? Dude, that's insanely bad. My 8th Gen i5 NUC can do almost 2 KH/s at 4 threads using ~40-50W total system power (depends on thermal situation/throttling).

Additionally, you should look at your CPU cache and adjust your mining threads respectively. RandomX needs 2mb L3 cache per thread, so since you got 20mb per Xeon, you should aim for 10 threads per CPU. Everything above is highly inefficient and decreases your hashrate per thread, up to the point that it might not even providing any additional hashrate at all.
