The AMD threadripper 1950x is our upgrade choice in our collection of the best mining cpus. It’s an upgrade choice because it costs around $500, but it also has the hashrate capability that means overall, your cost per hash is pretty similar to our top choice mining CPU. If you have the budget, then this upgrade option will do you well in your CPU mining rig.
With 16 cores, 32 threads and 32MB of L3 cache, the Threadripper 1950 CPU can hash almost twice as fast as the 1920 series chip.
The ‘x’ in AMD chips usually means no cooler is included, you might want to consider the 1950 without an x if you don’t already have a CPU cooler, or if you think you need one.
