If you’ve ever wondered what secret sauce allows AMD’s Radeon chips to so handily out perform Nvidia’s offerings when it comes to crypto-currency mining operations then look no further than this slide. Basically the performance gap is a product of AMD’s focus on integer compute performance, and Nvidia’s relative lack of interest in that aspect of GPU performance. To be clear this is not a software issue, but rather an architectural design trade-off that Nvidia made to de-emphasize integer compute in order to meet their other design goals.
