You can get newer much faster mini-PCs for a little more, that are balzingly fast for Chess engines..

Where can you get it faster for less than $600.00, remember this is an alternative instead of upgrading your current PC with a faster CPU or GPU :roll:
I found ASRock 4x4 BOX-4800U AMD online for 580usd. Why is there a "hard" cap on price,.. You Kind of get what you pay for and with chip shortages things are not free today...

It is stronger than an intel i7 3.40 GHz and for the prize you can NOT go wrong
Absolutely... Anyone interested in Price/perfomance for Chess should look no further than AMD-based machines these days, Intel and Apple are lagging big-time in both price and performance.. And if GPU-engines are used - expansion with Nvidia-GPU is king.
But if price is not an obstacle you should get the best Mini PC
