Topic: Will IntelR(R) OpenCL helpful for mining? (Read 1501 times)
Well, Sandy Bridge packs up to 12 EUs (equivalent to ATI's SPs) and probably that OpenCL SDK would give programmers access to them. There is nothing wrong with your CPU contributing some Mhash/s more
The 4-Way/SSE based miners will be faster than Intel's OpenCL CPU implementation unless the 4-way/SSE guys did a pretty poor job in their programming.
it probably just means that ppl with sandy bridge chips can actually mine without being like other CPU miners. (if there are any left)
Intel Graphics Chip's have pretty much always been shocking - so I'd say that chances are it'd be about the same as a CPU anyway. If not worse.
Probably not. with or without that opencl sdk, a CPU will perform not as good as a GPU.
What about Intel Graphic Chip?
