Monero Hashrate kH/s
The crypto currency Monero has been using the RandomX algorithm since November 2019. This PoW (proof of work) algorithm can only efficiently be calculated using a processor (CPU) or a graphics card (GPU). The CryptoNight algorithm was used for Monero until November 2019, but it could be calculated using ASICs. RandomX benefits from a high number of CPU cores, cache and a fast connection of the memory via as many memory channels as possible. Tested with XMRig v6.x under the operation system HiveOS.|

Blender 2.81 (bmw27)
Blender is a free 3D graphics software for rendering (creating) 3D bodies, which can also be textured and animated in the software. The Blender benchmark creates predefined scenes and measures the time (s) required for the entire scene. The shorter the time required, the better. We selected bmw27 as the benchmark scene.|

Devices using this processorApple M1 is a processor with 8 cores and a big.Little-core architecture. This means in this case that the processor has 4 high-performance cores and 4 power parkers and, depending on the application, use it to provide extremely energy-saving performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600, on the other hand, has 6 normal processor cores, which with up to 4.20 Gigahertz clocks and, unlike the Apple processor, support the hyper-threading technology.
The Apple M1 has an extremely powerful internal graphic unit. This has 128 shader units, clocks 3.20 Gigahertz and thus reaches a FP32 computing power of 2600 gigaFlops. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 has no internal graphics unit and can therefore be operated exclusively with a dedicated graphics card.
Both processors are equipped with PCI Express in version 4.0. About e.g. The fast M.2 hard drives are controlled or in the case of the AMD processor also the dedicated graphics card.
The two processors each have 2 memory channels. The Apple M1 supports (Stand 03/2021) the operation of a maximum of 16 gigabytes of type LPDDR4X-4266 type. With the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, however, with up to 128 gigabytes, significantly more memory can be operated. The AMD processor supports modules from type DDR4-3200.
