I'm not getting one until there are mainboard reviews out, because there seem to be early BIOS issues, but some things can be predicted: - *without* GPU: Ryzen has half the AVX power, so running the DCNN on the CPU goes at half speed. But this is not the only thing the program needs to do, and you do get twice the amount of cores. So I think it should easily make up for the difference, compared to the 4 core Intel chips. - *with* GPU: in this case only integer performance matters, which appears to be outstanding. e.g.: http://www.hardware.fr/articles/956-14/ia-echecs-stockfish-komodo.html Price/performance should be outstanding. -- GCP _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
