If they are right about the prices, that will be a happy day.

If I were Intel, I would buy TSMC

Without a doubt, those prices are low. But even at double the price, they are a better buy. The 3950 is $700 so the 24 core price might not be too far off (I expect $800 or more) The current (gen 2) 32 core threadripper is $1800 for the 32 core version. So I would expect a little more for the gen3, ...

Still largely speculation, but I guess not too far off except for price. https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-3960x-24-core-48-thread-7nm-zen-2-cpu-confirmed/ https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-names-24-core-zen2-cpu-as-ryzen-threadripper-3960x For instance, wccftech guesses $1299 for the 32 cor...

If you put it in the microwave, it goes right back to liquid.

For very high speed games, sending only the move is a lot better than sending the whole game state including the board. The moves aren't being sent over a 300 baud line, so "a lot better" doesn't hold water. Most testing done today is at ludicrously high speed (veiled "Spaceballs" reference). For i...

For very high speed games, sending only the move is a lot better than sending the whole game state including the board.

... Xboard is better for gameplay and learning because you can have stateful game progress, whereas UCI is stateless ... Your thought is interesting! However, it is not clear to me. How come it (Xboard) is better than UCI on gameplay/learning? Can you explain more? Lc0 is a UCI engine and it can tr...

If you are using my version, I turn off every form of contempt by default. You can turn it back on with the UCI options. I turn it off because I use chess engines for analysis and rarely for game play. And when I play them, the contempt is not important anyway. And when I analyze, I want the right ...
