The M1 Pro machine was generating just over 5Mh/s (megahash per second), which looks better when you factor in the total power draw of just 17W, far lower that would be consumed by a Windows PC generating the same result. The first thing to note is that you wouldn’t want to be mining in the background! The mining app destroys the performance of the machine for anything else, even casual web browsing, so you’d only ever want to do it when you’re not using your Mac. In this case, it was mining for Ethereum.
#PERSECOND MAC HOW TO#
There are already precompiled binaries out there for M1 Mac crypto mining, and the video explains how to install and run one.
YouTuber UFD Tech tested it with the M1 Pro model, as seen in the video below. Naturally, someone has already put it to the test and run the numbers. Not blazing fast by any means, but it is pretty damn efficient, and the per W hash rate is probably really good.” “I have the 64GB M1 Max 16″, running in high power mode, I am getting ~10.25MH/s with stock ethminer-m1 binary. It’s basically both the most efficient generalized CPU and the most efficient programmable ASIC too.” If some world class apple and crypto mining programmer put his hands on it, magical things would happen. MacBooks resale value is basically the best in the market The SoC has multiple dedicated processors for specific things like screen output, super fast video encoding, encryption and an extremely powerful neural engine. “Facts to consider: It’s the most efficient SoC, it will consume much much much less power than a dedicated gpu. “If the M1 Max can do 40+ MH/s I’d order an M1 Max MacBook Pro instead of M1 Pro.”
“M1 Max could mine ETH at 55MH/s? Memory bandwidth is between RX 6700 XT and RTX 3060 Ti.” With the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips offering huge performance increases, a question occurred to me: Might MacBook Pro cryptocurrency mining be feasible? …
