Although what you may have heard is “graphics card mining”, in fact, CPU can also be mined. Of course, the performance in terms of computing power is quite poor, so naturally there is no discussion.
Recently, a developer Yifan Gu shared the method of mining with Apple M1 CPU on his blog. The author also open sourced the mining program in github Just download and follow the tutorial steps inside to start mining.
According to the author, the computing power of the Apple M1 CPU is about 2Mh/s, and the daily income is only US$0.14. It is of course not cost-effective to deduct the power fee and equipment loss, so this is just a ticket.
However, in the future, Apple may also release high-performance Apple Silicon. It is said that there will be 32-core ARM CPUs and 128-core GPUs. If the mining boom continues, I don’t know if these Apple’s own CPUs and GPUs will become miners. The object of it.
