AMD EPYC 9654 vs AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
The AMD EPYC 9654 is 25% more efficient per KH, which is what decides the break-even electricity price below. Both machines are modelled with identical assumptions and your own rate.
Side by side
| Measure | EPYC 9654 | Ryzen 9 7950X |
|---|---|---|
| Hashrate | 52 KH/s | 18.5 KH/s |
| Power draw | 360 W | 170 W |
| Efficiency | 6.9 W/KH (better on this measure) | 9.2 W/KH |
| Revenue / day | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Electricity / day | $0.5184 | $0.2448 |
| Operating profit / day | -$0.5184 | -$0.2448 (better on this measure) |
| Operating profit / month | -$15.55 | -$7.34 (better on this measure) |
| Break-even electricity | $0.00 (better on this measure) | $0.00 |
| Cooling | Air | Air |
| Home suitable | No | Yes (better on this measure) |
Both machines assume a 1% pool fee at the current XMR price and network difficulty, running continuously. A highlighted figure is the better of the two on that measure — marked only where one genuinely is better, not on hashrate, power or revenue, which reflect the size of the machine rather than its quality. Highlighting is not a recommendation, and no manufacturer pays for placement here. Your rate is saved in this browser and applies across the site.

AMD EPYC 9654
52 KH/s · 360 W · 6.9 W/KH
RandomX rewards core count and memory bandwidth, and this 96-core part is the clearest expression of that. Server hardware with server acquisition costs.
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
18.5 KH/s · 170 W · 9.2 W/KH
The most practical home Monero miner here — a desktop part that mines while remaining a usable computer.
These are editorial judgements, not paid placements. Neither manufacturer has any influence over the ordering or the verdicts, and no purchase links on this page are affiliate links. Purchase price, warranty and availability are excluded because we do not yet publish a verified retailer feed — a comparison that invented them would be worse than one that omits them.
