Well, this is potentially going to cause some more supply issues.
Playstation is gearing up for a partnership with CUDOS. Which also happens to have the ex president of Playstation on their team
I would love to try this but I know I would end up breaking it
Was hard enough to get one at launch as it is
This is so obviously fake.
The GPU in the Sony PlayStation 5 is weaker than the AMD RX 6800 XT, which only hashes at 64.4 MH/s with 190 W, so there’s no way the PS5 would be able to pump out 98 MH/s even if it’s heavily overclocked.
You want proof? Scan the QR code in the image. It says “娱乐而已并没有此软件哈哈哈”, or “There is no such software; this is for entertainment. Hahaha.”
As always, please do your own research.
98.76 Mh/s? I highly doubt it. This has to be a modified PS5 or something.
tldr; Sony’s new PlayStation 5 has been successfully adapted for mining Ether, the second-biggest cryptocurrency, according to reports. The console has a hashrate of 98.76 mega-hashes per second (MH/s) with an electricity consumption of 211 watts (W). This would be enough to earn roughly $46.59 per week. However, it is impossible to mine cryptocurrencies on the console due to system limitations.

Matter of time when we will have ps* farms

Okay how though?
98.7 MH/s is a lot for a 429-529 USD piece of hardware…If this is true, then say goodbye to PS5 supply…
Sounds cool in theory, but good luck on getting your hands in a PS5 now.
Would be awesome to mine while it’s not in use. But hacking it renders the PS5 useless as a console
Did they use the standard OS? If so I think Sony could limit the performance with a mandatory software update anytime.
Doesn’t look like this hack is basic level stuff.
