I just tested xmr-stak auto configuring for the new sumo algo, uses the old algo but uses 4mb per thread config that the new algo will use, and it looks like cpu mining after the cryponight forks will not be worth it unless your cpu's have a huge amount of L3.
I tried to run xmr-stak 2.3.0 mining sumo on my dual E5-2667 v3 ES pc with a RX Vega 64 FE and it errors out with:
Error CL_INVALID_KERNEL_ARGS when calling clEnqueueNDRangeKernel for kernel 0.
Thats odd because 2.3.0 mines monero without any errors so I still need to figure out whats going on.
So I did a quick test on a i5 8400 9mb L3 coffee lake 6 core, old sumo config was about ~270-290 H/s on four threads, new is ~150H/s on two threads.
Gpu's are affected also, GTX 1060 6gb mining the old sumo config was ~557 H/s, new sumo config ~402 H/s with the EXACT settings in the config file and running afterburner at the same EXACT settings.
Now this is one test and will try it out on other pc's/servers.
Monero mining on xmr-stak 2.3.0 is still auto configuring for the old algo, looking at the config file its the same as the old as far as the number of threads, and it mines about the same and it's supposed to auto configure to the new algo after the fork.
I foresee a massive drop in the network hashrate for both Monero and Sumo but whether or not its worthwhile is yet to be seen.
