I have chosen a computing power modified 4K Video Processing PC with an AMD processor to get the price 250$ lower compared to an equivalent Intel processor. To see what the difference was between the old and new desktop, I tested the Strategy Wizard based on a somewhat older and GA modified Nirvana TLB2 Power Strategy. With the Strategy Wizard I optimized this strategy on 4 of the 16 systems in the system block, resulting in 324 permutations. The test was plotted on the entire S&P 100, with 1500 days back test and 500 days forward test. My old computer has an AMD A8 6600K Quad core 3.9 GHz processor, 32 GB DDR3 memory and a 1TB SSD with SATA connection. The new desktop has an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 12 cores, 3.9 GHz processor, 32 GB DDR4 memory, motherboard MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi, 1TB SSD M.2 connection and 600W power supply. Both PC's run Windows 10 PRO. The result of the test is as follows: The old PC took 2673 minutes to calculate the whole (or 44 hours and 33 minutes). The new PC needed 357 minutes (or 5 hours and 57 minutes). This makes the new PC 7.5 times faster than the old one. I hope this gives good information for those who are wondering which computer choice can help reduce OT computing time. [Edited by Roland van Giesen on 10/28/2020 12:58 PM] | |
