                RandomX v2 testing
              
          
        
      
        

      
      
    
RandomX v1 hash: 4194304 VM instructions + 262144 AES = 4456448 total ops
RandomX v2 hash: 6291456 VM instructions + 524288 AES = 6815744 total ops (+52.9%)

RandomX v2 includes the following changes:

Program size increased from 256 to 384
CFROUND is tweaked to change the rounding 16 times less often
Group F and group E register mix is done using 16 AES operations (the extra 262144 AES ops come from this change)
Dataset prefetch is 2 iterations ahead instead of 1

RandomX v2 hash is 1.5 times "heavier" than RandomX v1 hash, so hashrate comparison is only for the reference. The real metric is work per Joule (the last two columns).
