I think 8x improvement is too shabby when it means sacrificing the ability to gpu mine also. whos gonna really benefit? those with decent cpus and decent gpus in the same rig. most gpu miners have shitty single core processors which in this instance will be turned into 8 threads but again to do this they lose the ability to gpu mine other coins.
That's a constant though - no matter what coin you ARE mining, you're NOT mining all the others. If you think of mining as lost opportunity on every coin that you're not mining, then you, my friend, are a pessimist of considerable capacity!
no my point(which you have clearly missed) is that if you have 4x gpus in a mining rig with a single core processor(this is standard) then are you going to want to continue gpu mining or choose to in essence convert that single core processor into a quad core(8 thread) processor. That one is a no brainer, with an 8 thread processor I could mine very few HVCs per day but in monetary terms it would be much more profitable to just use the rig as intended, as an out and out GPU miner. Thus this 8x increase only really benefits someone who say has a quad core already with a decent gpu which can essential convert it into a 32 core processor for minign HVC. not many in the crypto world have this, they either are a cpu miner with loads of cores and shitty gpus or gpu miners with loads of gpus and shitty single core processors.
