Fastest Hardware for Chess

[Werewolf]

AMD is about to announce their upcoming EPYC platform based on Genoa, which will be a substantial improvement over EPYC Milan.

The new platform will have up to 96 cores per CPU (so 192 cores / 384 threads for a dual-socket) - obviously at some obscene price.

Rather confusingly there seems to be 3 main variants on the platform now:
1) standard Genoa EPYC
2) Bergamo
3) V-cache

Anyone know which is best for our uses? Standard?

Ipman has already bench for 8x Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 8x24c/48t 384threads . AMD must improve.

Totally different price point.

I wonder why there is no bench for Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX? Should be the fastest single CPU at the moment.

For chess that thing is a disappointment. I think I measured a 5% increase on the 3990X (Rome). I’m wondering if going from Milan to Genoa will yield greater gains as it has in the desktop segment (albeit with greater power consumption).
