Well the mining craze seems to be going down as the crypto prices are taking a nose dive so hopefully, the supply issues won't last for too much longer.

Also we have some i7-11700K benches from customers who got their cpus early. It's still pre-release so take it with a grain of salt but even when overclocked, it falls behind the 5000 series slightly in synthetics.

The whole negative press around cryptocurrencies right now certainly ain't helping either. Especially how inefficient they are in terms of power. Mining Bitcoins now apparently consumes as much energy as all of Argentina, which is a grand total of 121.36 TWh and enough to be part of the top 30 energy consuming nations if Bitcoin were a country.

So much power that could be used for better things...
