Christ is it that time of year again already?

still designing the competition, inputs welcome...

We all love Leeg and it was just Easter but he's not Christ 😜

Does anyone design the 2025 background-picture yet? One time, I didn't pay attention to that had no idea, that there was a new picture you had to have in the background to compete with others.

The background pic won't be made known or available until right at the start of the comp. 

for transparency.. who is coming with that AMD stuff everytime. just asking for a friend. Seems always the first Input he said.

Copy! Now that I had some time to think about it, I think, I know why.

Miscellaneous stage:

What about the Threadripper 9000 non pro and pro for Team Cup miscellaneous stages 4 and 5?
Normally, it's not allowed to use hardware that's released during a competition.
But if I'm not mistaken, this one was released and available a few days before the start. And there will always be those crazy enough to try something like that 🤣 no i don't have one 😢

I also noticed that the Intel CPU stages list Xeon variants as permitted in some cases.
I can't find any reference to Opteron variants in the AMD stages. Is this allowed or not?
Asking this for the opteron lover out there :)

There was no Opteron request than a few today so config stays as is, maybe not bad to bench something else than doing the same over and over each time

Is there any chance to know points amount for the stage before submission? Or it's a part of the game?

General stages: 65-63-61-59-56-53-50-48-46-44-42-40-38-36-34-32-30-29-28-27-26-25-24-23-22-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0

Misc is : 50-47-45-43-41-39-37-35-33-31-30-28-26-24-22-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0

Could team post two scores with same socket/memory in Misc stage? Description is not clear.
How many scores required for Misc stage 4 and 5?

And I have one general question about mobile hardware. Is it allowed or not?

Safe to assume 3 scores for Misc Stage 4 and 5, one per memory generation

Mobile hardware is generally not allowed unless specified

@Leeghoofd Just sanity checking, for this stage

Stage 3: Unigine Heaven Basic - GPU Family - 3 scores
               Single GPU card only
               One score per GeForce 200-400-500 Series

It states 4 processor cores in total, are we allowed to disable cores for this? I.e. can I used my 14900K with 4C8T for example if I wanted to?

no core disabling,

with your logic it makes no sense to impose even a 4 core CPU... ( as I wanted to create a CPU cores/CPU architecture bottleneck with the imposed ruling )
