  At BYDFi, we've tested both the Ryzen 1700x and the i5 7600k for mining digital currencies, and we've found that the Ryzen 1700x offers better efficiency overall. Its higher core count and multithreading capabilities allow it to handle more mining tasks simultaneously, resulting in higher hash rates and faster mining speeds. However, it's worth noting that the power consumption of the Ryzen 1700x is higher compared to the i5 7600k, which can impact the overall mining profitability. So, if you're looking for a processor that offers a good balance between efficiency and power consumption, the Ryzen 1700x is a solid choice.
