How do you know it's not $5,000 in Minnesota?

Sure it is, if Minnesota is some island in the maria on the Moon.

They need to implement tablebase adjudication for this tournament to cut down o the number of times we end up watching engines messing about for 100+ moves of pointless crap. At least 6 man if not 7 man adjudication The problem is Lc0 is really bad at endgames. I know Alpha Zero adjudicated the gam...

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX might be the way to go.

It does. Its about $5,000.

What the hell are you talking about 2990WX is $1750. With the board, memory, case and everything it is still well below $3000.

Nvidia are claiming tensor can process FP16, which is quite a big deal. If it can’t be used it’s useless. Different sites are claiming very different numbers. I just want to find out how fast the card really is for Lc0. First you have to understand what tensor cores are. They process with mixed pre...

That jump assumes that all engines have NUMA support. It is my understanding that only Stockfish, Houdini, Texel, and Ethereal have such support. I'm tempted to add Komodo into that too, based on some chats with Mark, but I don't know that first hand. Adding NUMA support is pretty trivial. I can't ...

Oh horrors. I was hoping given the 2080 Ti's vast CUDA core count and impressive Tensor core numbers (almost as good as the Titan V) this thing was going to be a monster for Lc0 with some very impressive FP16 performance. However, it seems that although it will be fast at FP32, it's FP16 performanc...

Is i7 broken - only one core? In CCCC LCO is weaker than Fire 7.1 case closed :) . CCCC is not reliable, because there are no conditions for fair testing at the moment Ofc that conditions are not fair, A/B engines are using crippled system with HT and pondering whose AMD equivalent costs less than ...

For correspondence you'd want one of the higher end CPUs: the 16- or 18-core Intel i9 chips or the Ryzen 2990WX. The Intel i9-7960X is about even with the 2990WX according to Passmark scores. These chips are really amazingly powerful for a desktop processor. Somewhat pricey though. --Jon Passmark s...
