Lc0 wins TCEC Cup 11 Final

Otherwise, the reason of LC0’s win is still not clear to me.

Any topic about LC0 eventually goes into hardware flames.
Any topic about TCEC eventually goes into opening selection bias.

GPU hardware is improving at a much faster rate than CPU it seems. So the future of Lc0 is looking good, apart from the huge power consumption of the high-end cards.

Use MacBook Pro M1 MAX 32 GPU cores. Or soon 64 GPU cores.

Using the recommended best big net, T78, my MacBook Air M2 gets a whopping 300 nps. My PC with my 3090 card gets 20000 nps. The 4090 would be around 35000 nps.

Apple just sucks for chess.

Great to see you are still at it after all these years . Some impressive scores there !!!

I wonder if TCEC has upgraded their GPU cards for the last tournament. Otherwise, the reason of LC0’s win is still not clear to me.

No, it hadn't been upgrade.
LCO's win is somewhat clear to me: avatar "Etaquab" & avatar "Borg323" did an amazing job.
Today Leela is very close to Stockfish, but none of the testers like CEGT CCRL Pohl and others show interest in measuring progress.

Maybe they are not interested in thousand dollar GPU cards? I mean, you can test LCO's on lesser equipment, but it thrives on those high end GPU's which people generally have for (non-chess) gaming.
