As you know, this is CPU + GPU

Rome is certainly NOT tiny by any stretch of the imagination !

Thanks Stefan !

I can't find anyplace that says venice MIGHT have 92 cores. Only 96 and 128. I also don't think the 96 core would be in compition for Panther lake, only the 128 core varieties, and I think Zen 6 would beat them. We will see.

We are Holding a commanding lead, but do people use bunkers in primegrid ?

The day ended at 1:40 PDT and I posted at 2:08 PDT, so I was late. as a team we are absolutely kicking hiney. I am 3rd, so that's just honorable mention.

Well, this is not the official day one, but its close. Top 5 teams. And seti germany came from I don't know where. I did not see them anywhere close to the top one hour ago.They could even overtake us. (I could be wrong on that)

I did too. In 1983

I would, but until my first load of CPU tasks dump (~4 hours) I have nothing to really say. As a team we are killing it though.

updating the motherboard for $300-$400 is a lot different than changing out a laptop motherboard or a "framework" motherboard

The 9555 (64 core) I think is 360 watt. I should look it up... Yup, see below The AMD EPYC 9555 is a 64-core processor with a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz. It has a 256MB L3 cache and a TDP of 360W. It supports DDR5-6400 memory and has 128 lanes of PCIe...

One thing you forgot.... So I have a 3900x with a 970. Then Upgraded the GPU to a 1080TI Then to a 2080TI Then CPU to a 5950x Then GPU to a 3080TI Then GPU to a 4080 Then CPU to a 9950x. Then GPU to a 5090. Lets see you do that on a laptop.

Thanks Stefan !

Your question, what is the best AM5 motherboard could be answered by the best AM5 expert in high CPU usage/overclocking. re-reading, maybe that was not the source of your comment, but at least maybe we can get an answer to the AM5 motherboard question from detx

@Det0x What is your choice ? @511 Since he is our current highest overclocker, I would think his opinion would be very close, if not correct.
