Now it will be possible to mine on PS5. The Chinese have perfected the console
Cryptocurrency fans continue to test different devices for mining Ethereum (ETH). Mine on PS5 can earn you more then 50$ in week!
It is generally believed that game consoles are poorly designed for mining cryptocurrencies. However, the Chinese craftsmen were able to bypass this limitation. After all, PS5, in fact, the same computer with a hybrid AMD Ryzen processor on the Zen 2 microarchitecture and RDNA 2 graphics.
As it turned out, experts were able to run Etherium mining at 98.76 megahes per second. At the same time, the console consumes 211 watts.
It should be noted that the native performance of the console is at the level of AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT with 50 megaches per second. So the actual doubling of the mining power may indicate overclocking or serious modifications of the console.
Mining on PS5: the investment is worth it
According to CryptoCompare, you can make about $46 a week with this kind of performance, with the PlayStation 5 now costing $499.
Earlier, Gu Yifan adapted a MacBook Air with an Apple M1 chip to mine ether. The BeInCrypto editorial board reported that mining ETH on an Apple laptop is unprofitable. The device’s hardware is capable of providing performance at only 2 megacaches per second with a power consumption of 20 watts. Thus, at the current rate of Ethereum, you can earn only $0.14 per day on a MacBook Air.
