Bitmain Antminer X9 Is INSANE! Will Monero Change RandomX to SAVE CPU Mining?

Bitmain has officially announced the Antminer X9, a new high-hashrate Monero (XMR) miner claiming ~1000 KH/s at ~2472W — but is it really an ASIC? Monero is hard forking to a new Algorithm Random X V2? and is it worth pre-ordering? Reddit Post about Random X V2 Algorithm https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1pyzdpc/randomx_v2_update/ In this video, I break down what the Bitmain Antminer X9 actually is, how it compares to CPUs like the Ryzen 7950X, 7945HX, and AMD EPYC, and why the upcoming RandomX V2 (RandomXV2) Monero network upgrade could seriously impact its efficiency. I also share my real experience with the Antminer X5 (which died after just 3 days), discuss RISC-V architecture, DDR4 SODIMM memory requirements, power efficiency, dollar-per-hash comparisons, and why a July 2026 pre-order is extremely risky. We’ll cover: Is the Antminer X9 really an ASIC? RandomX vs RandomXV2 explained Bitmain Antminer X9 efficiency vs CPU mining Monero difficulty & price considerations Why RAM prices matter for this miner Should anyone actually pre-order this? 💡 Sponsor: Thanks to CryptominerBros.com for sponsoring today’s video. ⚠️ Note: I do not recommend pre-ordering the X9 at this time.
