low powered devices and CPUs. GPUs should hash equally or worse
compared to decent CPUs. As far as I can see memory will be
even less and only the number of cores will matter.
Any real-world observations/benchmarks so far?
Let's wish the best for this fork
It does mean GPUs will need to get less. If you look at the native hashing power of an IoT device compared to a GPU, it's no contest by a huge margin. I'm having trouble seeing how UPX could succeed in the IoT arena WITHOUT punishing the GPU miners somehow. It's just necessary if you want really distributed hash power among low-powered devices.
