Can't resist sharing some hardware news.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/e...eries.html Yesterday Intel released a new X-Series line of desktop CPUs with 12 models including a completely new 10-core/20-thread one. They are already available in stores. Four more models are to be released soon, including an incredible 18-core model. 18 cores in a desktop processor! I doubt AMD has something to respond to that. [unofficial mode]This looks like the ultimate remedy for all 'Filter Forge is slow' laments. [/unofficial mode] |

AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper comes with up to 16 Cores/32 threads and from the few details superior (to Intel i9/Core X) memory and PCIe integration/communication
https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen http://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-i9...ore-beast/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/amds-ryz...r-of-2017/ Good (and short) rendering times await  |

It's super head-to-head. Hopefully the pricewars will continue.

Thanks for the news GMM, but regrettably this awesome and amazing 18-core CPU chip will cost 1999$ and you will need also a new motherboard and new RAM chips too with this, so is really not a very good and affordable way to make FF faster
