So once people get their hands on ASICs, is mining on GPUs dead?
The increased difficulty is making me reconsider whether or not I even want to continue mining or not. Especially with people getting their hands on Avalon ASICs...
All of this speculation and hoarding is making Bitcoin too unstable for merchants. Wasn't the point of Bitcoin to create an alternative currency meant for commerce? But with its current volatility, I personally would not accept Bitcoin in my trade of business.
The irony of Bitcoin is that most people are hoarding it so that they might trade it back for fiat currency in the future... That is what really saddens me.

Installed the latest Intel drivers, and I am getting around 3.5 M/hash on average. Worth it to keep around?
The HD 4000 on my T430s does around 4.5 M/hash.
My GTX 560 Ti at home does around 70 M/hash, I think.
Or should I just buy one of those ASIC miners?

Okay, results are just abysmal.
4.3 M/hash per second on average on the Intel HD 4000.
I'm going to install Intel's overclocking utility to see what I squeeze out...
Also, any flags I should try to improve performance? This is even worse than the NVS 4200M on my T420, which got 10 M/hash per second on average.

Frankly I'm not surprised. You know what they say about Intel video...
It's not that bad at gaming, though.
Oh well, maybe Haswell will be the godsend many of us are looking for. I was using the Windows 8 beta drivers, so that might be it.
Wonder if it is actually running off the CPU? That's how OpenCL worked with the HD3000 but the HD4000 is supposed to work.
GUIMiner identified the HD 4000 correctly. Plus, the CPU is only being pegged at 8% usage, so obviously the GPU is doing some work.
I suspect Intel's drivers may need some tuning...

It appears that Intel's latest drivers for the HD 4000 includes OpenCL drivers as well. I'll have a report for you guys back by early evening.
Anyways, my T430s has the base standard voltage Core i5 processor - 3320M, I believe?

I haven't used this chip you're talking about. Considering though a GPU like 5750 hashes for about 170MH/s and the APU of AMD A8-3850 (which is 6550) does a 65MH/s, I seriously doubt this Intel chip can go up to 100MH/s.

I have a desktop with a 3770k as I said before. Isn't it not possible at the moment to run an OpenCL miner with the HD4000 gfx? Nothing comes up in guiminer.
You may need to install an additional driver...

Note sure if this has any relevance or not, but depending on the workload, the Intel HD 4000 can be faster than the A8-3850 in terms of compute:

We'll see when I get my laptop in... two weeks. Lenovo's been having supply problems, unfortunately, from what I read.
I just bought a Thinkpad with this new graphics chip, and apparently, it's OpenCL capable. Has anyone tried running a miner on it yet? If so, what are the numbers like?
When I first got my new processor, I went to see if I could mine on my Intel HD graphics 2000, the miners in GUIMiner don't even show my gpu.
Are any miners picking up your 4000?
The Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 are not OpenCL capable. The new 2500/4000 are.
And for the record, I still don't have my Thinkpad on hand yet.
Those things aren't going to hit 100 MH/s are you kidding? Try 10 MH/s.
The integer performance of a 6770M (what I have in my laptop) far outstrips what the HD4000 is capable of and it only gets 75 MH/s.

Hmm... I think 40-50 M/hash might be more realistic, then.
But at any rate, the HD 4000 is the most power efficient mining chip out there, with the exception of FPGAs.
2 MH/J is power efficient? What? Even at the proposed 100 MH/s (4MH/J) is not all that impressive.
Pardon me, I am coming from mining on an Nvidia GPU and the numbers look impressive.

It's not even a proper gpu, would be worth with 48xx with free/stolen electricity, otherwise you'll be losing money. Anything lower than that and you are also losing your time.
100 M/hash for only 25 watts of electricity sounds like a good deal to me. Especially if Intel's OpenCL drivers are up to snuff.
umm i do not think you are going to get 100mhash/s on that... if you do let us know and we will stop buying fpgas...
If you were buying FPGAS, I dont see how these cpus outprice the current fpgas on the market.
Street Price: 3570K - £179.99 3770K - £259.99 excluding motherboard/memory/psu etc. which would add between 50-100% on that per cpu usable unit for mining for only 100mh, sounds like a terrible investment.
But what if you needed a new computer and CPU anyway? Those costs would be factored in. Just electricity.
