The comparison of cuda cores between different architectures worked well for Maxwell Vs pascal, at least until the miner Devs figured out how to take the best out of the latter, and it wasn't a big difference. Same will be for Turing (if any).
Nvidia has been focusing on improving other things than integer math for many years now.
Maxwell and Pascal were almost identical as far as architecture. Turing is nothing like either of those (hence the tensor and RTX parts of the CPU). That's like comparing clockspeed or cores between AMD/Intel.
I based my assertion off of leaked benchmarks and rumors reporting performance on hardware websites.
I have no ax to grind with him.. I don't need mining, I do it as a hobby for fun, I could give two fucks about your shitty 5 dollar a day profit over 20 dollars a day profit.
You care an awwwwwwful lot about that shitty 5 dollar a day profit for someone who does this about a hobby. I'm more of a fan of 'what people do' rather then 'what people say' logic, and we can just look at the shear amount of time you've spent in this thread monitoring it and making responses.
Also you spend $20k on hardware, regardless of doing something for a hobby, you would probably care. XD
