I've been using the miner for some time on different intel cpus. Why are Alderlake series perform considerably worse than other, supposedly weaker cpus? For example i have 2 12700 that do about 750-800 kh/s, while 6700 does almost the same (~700) and 8700 is actually better (~1200). 12900 is faster at ~2000.
They also don't register the correct number of active cpus, but rather half of the total cores: 12700 is 12 cores (8p+4e) and 20 total threads but reads 10 active. 12900 is 16 (8p+8e) and total 24 cores, but reads 12 active.
Alderlake is running miner variant avx2-sha-vaes while older ones running only avx2.
