I have HT off on my pc as this option is better for other engines that I use. Fot The latest Stockfish Version, would 8 cores be better than 4?


I am not sure whether I understand your question. Did you mean to ask "...would 8 threads be better than 4"?

For optimal strength, the number of threads should always equal the number of physical CPU cores (for Stockfish, and probably also for all other chess engines). If you have a quad-core machine (with or without hyperthreading), use four threads. Also remember to set "Minimum Split Depth" to 4 if you have a quad-core.


Stupid slit depth I wish I had read this before! Twisted Evil


change -- actually i have it on 4 but in task manager i still get 8 threads running


max #split threads per split point=5
minimum split depth =4
threads=4
Intel core 2 quad cpu Q6600 2.4 ghz 3 gb ram
WIn xp.


I guess thats the way it works!

With ivanhoe sometimes i get 8 even 16 threads running ...
