Alright gamers! Farmers can dig virtual money from PS5

The “plowers” from China have a way to turn a PS5 into a genuine “virtual money buffalo”.

Unlike PC, consoles in general and PS5 in particular are almost impossible to use to mine virtual currency. For the sake of optimizing gaming, cryptocurrency mining is limited by the PS5’s system.

However, this notion is no longer true. According to information published in Gadget Tendency magazine, the “farmers” from China have a way to turn a PS5 into a genuine “buffalo”. With the hardware power of an AMD Ryzen CPU with Zen 2 architecture (x86, 8 cores, 16 threads, up to 3.5 GHz) and AMD Radeon GPU with RDNA 2 architecture (ray tracing; up to 2, 23 GHz, 10.3 teraflops)… the system is quite suitable for mining cryptocurrencies.

With what has been recorded in the Ethereum virtual currency mining process, the “PS5 buffalo” can achieve a mining efficiency of 98.76 MH/s and consume only 211W of power. These are all extremely impressive parameters that all cryptocurrency miners must dream of.

At the end of last week, the mining of Ethereum virtual currency on MacBook Air with Apple M1 SoC was also revealed. In the craze of virtual currency that is spinning the whole world, perhaps all of humanity’s advanced computer systems can hardly stay out of this game.
