Stockfish chess program1/17/2024 ![]() Per the Wikipedia page, it'll scale to 1024 threads and a 32TB RAM. That plays exactly into how Stockfish works.įrom what I can tell, Stockfish will scale up to supercomputers. ![]() Intel is still focused on getting you the fastest single-thread performance, AMD is focused on giving you lots and lots of the same cores. If it matters, I use stockfish for position analysis.Ĭlick to expand.Related to this, seriously consider going with an AMD CPU instead of Intel. The big question for me is, does RAM speed matter for chess engines? Will faster RAM going to get me to a desired move depth faster? Or will it just be a waste of money? Any idea of 32GB of RAM will be enough, or should I go to 64? If I have to choose between more RAM and faster RAM, which is optimal? (I assume more is always better than fast, but I admit ignorance) I want a -k CPU instead of a -kf to have QuickSync available because it does some hardware encoding that NVENC doesn't do. Either the 13700k or 13900k makes sense to me. I am probably going to go with an RTX 4070 for the GPU, because I do some video work and I've found that CUDA is the fastest hardware acceleration. I figure that with that budget, I have some room to splurge on some elements of the machine. ![]() I don't really expect to need anything except for the box itself. I just bought a 1440p, 120hz monitor, so I think that's pretty good and I don't need to upgrade. My budget is goal $2500, not to exceed $3000. So I am planning a new build (to be completed in November or December). Suppose I want to analyze a position to a certain depth. But, I play a little chess, and one of the things that vaguely annoys me is that chess engines are kinda slow.
