I have an i5-8250u processor. What will be the best (fastest and strongest) build? x64 bmi, x64 popcnt, or regular x64? Hi, I'm planing to buy a laptop with that exact CPU ( i5-8250u ). How many nps is Stockfish BMI2 using 4 cores in the starting position? I'm also eyeing for the i7 variant ( i7-85...

I wonder if the BMI2 slowdown is finally fixed.

I believe the most even and interesting match is 1 Knight Odds for the computer but the DRAW is a win for the computer

Does it have A.I. hardware? If not then it's not a 2080 killer as far as chess is concerned.

In contrast, How long can the latest Stockfish find it?

Disallowing update between stages will just show a similar result from stage 1.

Well, all the other engines won't be sharing resources while playing LC0, so she will face engines with 40-something "real" threads with no memory or disk contention. On the other hand, while the conventional engines will face weaker competition than Leela, they will also be weaker when doing so......

I think using ponder is a joke, they should give 90+ threads to each engine with no ponder, and it would be way better.

Ponder should hurt all the other CPU engines but maybe not so much with Leela because she's using GPU. Unless she is playing against another NN engine I think.

I think that a full piece handicap would be a fair match against a GM these days.
