I thought randomx algo is asic resistant.looks like nothing resistant to asics.
X5 is not an ASIC, it's a bunch of RISC-V CPUs (SG2042, you can google it) packed together, and they even use DDR4 SODIMM memory sticks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkWGbkJjXa8
This is bad information for miners on processors, because now Bitmain can make ASICs for any coins that need to be mined on processors. Home mining will unfortunately die.
How many SG2042 ASICs are there?
I just saw 6 processors on 1 board.
