The nightmare for gamers is back: AMD CPUs started to "sold out" when Bitcoin prices rose incredibly

Along with Bitcoin's strong price increase is the rise of the cryptocurrency market. This is followed by increased demand for cryptocurrency mining activities as well as accompanying processors.
The immediate consequence is that AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs are "sold out" when this processor is popular among miners because it brings higher profits than the fastest GPUs today.
Interest is focused on AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPU line, especially in mining cryptocurrencies like Qubic, which take advantage of the AVX2 or AVX512 instruction sets in the Zen 4 architecture - a necessity for cryptocurrency mining systems. Previously since the Alder Lake CPU line, Intel abandoned AVX512 support in end-user products, which left AMD's Ryzen CPUs as the only choice.
AMD has previously used the Raptoreum mining algorithm for its CPUs, which helps take advantage of the large L3 cache on Ryzen & Threadripper chips, especially 3D V-Cache parts with large caches. stacked on top of the chip.
As for the current cryptocurrency mining profit rate, Qubic coin (QBIC) brings a profit of about 3 USD/24 hours when using this chip, including electricity costs when operating at 170W capacity. With the excellent performance that AMD's Zen 4 CPUs deliver and the ability to deliver equivalent performance when power down to 65-100W, the 16-core beast and other chips in the same family become a viable solution. for such algorithms.
With the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, you can generate almost twice as much profit when mining cryptocurrency compared to using the top NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, with a maximum profit of up to 1.7-1.9 USD when mining coins like PYI and NEX. This GPU has a maximum capacity of 450W and also costs 3.5 times more (2000 USD compared to 559 USD) compared to AMD's Ryzen chip.
Rising demand for AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs, including the Ryzen 9 7950X, has led to a temporary shortage of the chip in the US market. At this time, Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs can no longer be purchased directly on Amazon. Other markets are also in a similar situation, although not as much as they are now. Interest in cryptocurrency mining has only recently increased, and as more people become aware of it, shortages could start to spread again.
In addition, if more coins use algorithms with AVX512 instruction sets, the situation will be even less positive for AMD's Zen 5 CPU supply, when it is reported that AMD's next-generation chip architecture AMD will deliver AVX512 performance twice that of Zen 4, bringing greater returns to the cryptocurrency market.
It is expected that AMD Zen 5 CPUs will be released for both Ryzen desktops and laptops later this year, and it is likely that AMD will apply some hash restrictions similar to NVIDIA's previous practice, to limit Limit the use of CPUs for end users for cryptocurrency mining purposes.
