Posted: Sat Apr 17, 2021 8:45 pm
Video showing BetterHash benchmark results on a MacBook Pro 16" (MacBook Pro16,4) 2.4GHz 8-Core 5600M. RandomX (XMRig) was benchmarked for best CPU mining and Ethash (Phoenix) was benchmarked for best GPU minng. According to the miner, I could make $60 monthly mining. I did NOT enabled profit switching, so the monthly earning likel varies. We also only ran the miner for several minutes so profit wasn't completely accurate on this system. Hash speeds below.
