GX9 test results

Technical paper
20,487/20,487

Matching CPU / GPU results

Identical hashes from both implementations for every tested input.

1,000

GPU-mined blocks accepted

All blocks passed node validation in one controlled run.

3.002×

Estimated ASIC efficiency advantage

About 3× as many hashes per joule as the tested GPU, under the calculation’s assumptions.

Calculated from power measurements and circuit synthesis. No physical ASIC was tested.
