Honey-v13 (and Black-Diamond/Oki-Maguro) are finished, uploaded and on the benchmark list: https://acepoint.de/some-chess-stuff-for-apples-m1/

@MikeB Bluefish and Harmon are not compiling using your provided script users_build.sh (I have changed ARCH to apple-silicon and COMP to clang). But I also don't know the differences between the five engines you provide at https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/ ... s/tag/13.0. As others already asked in the Honey 13 thread ;-).

Yes 5800U will be better for laptops as 5900H is 45W.

When I was working on graphics drivers for those Cezanne parts. I was assigned an issue where QA could only reproduce on 45W parts. But the dev team had those engineering samples where it's hard to tell if it's a 45W or a 15W. I asked the team, and my teammates also didn't know a surefire way to determine that. So we had to go to the product manager who had a list telling us about the specs of each engineering sample..
Better is subjective :-)

As always its a tradeoff Energy consumption and performance :-) (just look at the Wattage of those 3090 GPUs :-) ) .. Personally I don't need the more extreme battery-stamina running a laptop 3x8h working days on one charge. Running it 4-8 hours normal processing when traveling is just fine between charges for me. I'd rather lose the extreme battery stamina than give up top performance of my laptop. As so many laptops these days have 90-99W batteries, the larger batteries can really give "good enough" stamina and still provide the power to run beefier HW even in laptops. For me I'd rather get more done in a shorter period of time and "recharge" rather than get less work done over a longer time-period.. :-)

For me personally I think 45W TDP 7nm strikes the perfect balance between power-efficiency this spring.. the current 15W options like the i7-10710U (Apple published TDP for M1 is 39W btw which is quite high at full use!!) are a bit too slow to justify the extra energy savings imop.

Thank you acepoint and thank you MikeB for the engines. I have made a nice OKI-Maguro Logo with Japanese food and a Samurai chessboard. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkW3Hj0Gl_ewzxWooPL ... c?e=ybtcbV
For now I have emulated Fat Fritz 2.0 using Stockfish 12 ARM64 and the FatFritz2.v1.bin in the Stockfish FF GitHub folder, and it is probably stronger than the original-clone :lol:

@MikeB @Acepoint_de
Oki-Maguro v13, Honey v13 and Black Diamond v13 on Silicon M1 are strongs!
Stockfisk 12 doesn't work with FatFritz2v1.bin (I haven't tested the engine before starting the BanksiaGui blitz tournament)

Thank you also for RubiChess 2.1 NNE and Lc0 0.27.0 ...but SF Fat Fritz 2.0 Github for M1? I have read that someone already compiled it for Windows 10 under GPL 3.0. It would be interesting to test it against ore strong Stockfish derivates like Oki-Maguro v13 (Thanks again MikeB)) I'm trying to learn how to compile it for myself, but as a .net web programmer I have never done it before... :wink:

OK,
so if also you have problems, I can stop trying and just wait :oops:

I'm reallyreally tempted to pm him a link to a silicon*-compiled version with the AS-net, just to do a little piracy/HARMLESS FUN here.

Image: dropping a "Fritz"-engine for a platform not even officially supported before they do. Unheard of!
