I did another test today. Already in my first test, the new unofficial dimension 2560 won against the SF dev standard network with dimension 2048. My private engine Smile XPro is not identical to SF dev. It is a modified SF version, and adapted to the new NNUE Dimension 2560.
SF dev used network "nn-c38c3d8d3920.nnue"
Smile XPro used network "nn-1ceb1ade2048.nnue"
After 36 games, Smile XPro was able to achieve a +4 lead. So it is clear to me that the new NNUE net with dimension 2560 plays better than SF dev when played with enough time. Bullet games often end randomly, in 10 minute games the engines take more time (sometimes even more than 60s per move). Ponder ON is very important to me, because we play with it on all servers.
The games was played on Ryzen 2700 with the Fritz 18 GUI.
