sorry im a complete newbie, this is cpuminer for monero yes?

having avx 512 benefits mining?

JayDDee commented 3 years ago

No you can't mine Monero with this miner. Monero uses RandomX algorithm.

AVX512 generally doesn't help algorithms typically known as "CPU algos". AVX512 is just a CPU pretending to be a GPU so it helps algorithms that are already more efficient to mine with a GPU.

Closing, no follow up.
