Still doing the internal testing of the new core. They seems to be playing with the points now which I don't understand.
From what I've read the Pande group is moving to an equal points for equal work points system. If you run FAHBench you can see that a GPU can fold circles around a CPU - even a multiprocessor rig folding Bigadv (against a high end GPU liek a 7970 or 680).
I feel that this new Core_17 has been better at folding than they thought it would be and they are working on how to implement it without pissing off the folks that have spent thousands on building Bigadv rigs.
The latest estimate PPD for my HD6950 is about 124K with the new core. I would like it if they would actually benchmark this new 7663 WU like they have with the current WU's so we can do an actual compare of the PPD's.
But in the end I'll for sure take an HD6950 pulling down 124K PPD.
