Topic: CPU vs GPU mining (Read 892 times)
GPU hash much faster then CPU for its price and energy ratio. The only way CPU is better if the coin can only be mined by CPU.
generally anything a CPU can do a GPU can do.
so most "CPU" only currencies are not good investments at the start of their lives especially if they are a long distribution.
if they stay at a high price this is a good indicator that the "cpu" only was being mined by "GPU" (or better) and their is rampant price manipulation going on.
this i usually shilled as a "CPU botnet" when in fact its the scam being pulled on the "CPU" miners.
so its better to look at the market holistically, and say :
"what is an accessible personal computer product ? "
and that is both CPU and GPU -
with cPoW you "generally" and "kind of" pay for what you get -
i.e with correctly set up Complex proof of work (cPoW) algorithms the ratio between CPU and GPU is not that large and you will generally get value from both all things being equal.
Summary and to answer your question :
your question is wrong there isn't advantages or disadvantages they can both mine the same algorithms generally, but it depends on that specific algorithm.
** none of that was in reference to PoS -

I want to get i one place CPU and GPU advatages and disadvantages. Could you help?
CPU:
- low entry threshold (kinder to housewives)
- less common security system (51%-PoW vulnerability ot PoS too?)
.... ??
GPU:
- industry around miners
- safer than cpu(more Mhash's in system (PoW only? ))
