Apparently some company is going to be selling a 128 core cpu next year. i bet that will put asics out of business. plus it won't make any noise.
No chance. An S19 Pro is 5 million times faster than a CPU core. You would need 40,000 128-core CPUs to match a single S19 Pro.
i did read about a cpu that had almost 1 million cores i think 850,000 but i'm sure it's an expensive machine. but assuming each core could do 1 gigahash per second, that would be 850 terahash per second. not bad.
