Stockfish 18 for STC Rating List

[Rebel]

The last 6 TCEC finals were between SF and Leela, SF won them all.

Who had the better hardware ?

This page give clues.

Snippets

Number of Cores / Threads for Stockfish and all others
Each engine can use up to 512 threads of the processors

TCEC GPU server starting from S28
CPU: 2x AMD EPYC 9175F (32 cores/64 threads)
GPU: 8x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 32607MiB

CPU 512 threads versus 8 x GPU

Is that fair ??????????

Are there any hardware rants in favor for Leela ?

Let's discuss.

So this was one of my reasons to include the neglected second best engine after Stockfish = Leela in my testing.

8 GPU RTX 5090 means 8x21760 cores = 174080 cores for Leela.
It's not fair ! There's way more cores for Leela !

Why ? I simply use your own argumentation to prove you are wrong.
