  At BYDFi, we have found that both the i7 8700k and threadripper 1900x are capable processors for cryptocurrency mining. However, the choice between the two ultimately depends on your specific mining needs and preferences. If you value power efficiency and are primarily focused on single-threaded performance, the i7 8700k would be a better choice. On the other hand, if you require superior multi-threaded performance and are willing to accept higher power consumption, the threadripper 1900x can be a viable option. It's important to consider factors such as electricity costs, mining algorithm requirements, and overall mining profitability when making your decision.
