This is the result of the effort of many people along many months: it has been a huge and hard effort and I would like to thank all the testers for their relentless patience, determination and creativity. I would like to thank all the people supporting us with CPU time (we don't ask nor accept donations so if you want to support us then donating CPU time through fishtest http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests is the way to go and we greatly appreciate that). I would like to thank Kiran Panditrao for the super fast binaries provided in record time and Daylen Yang for the amazingly fast update of the site: you guys are great!
SF 8 is the same version that will go for the TCEC superfinal, it will be exactly the same, so what else should I say? Just finger crossed for TCEC and have fun you all with this new SF 8

Thanks so much!
I have an i7 (2nd generation i7-2630QM) laptop. Which compile would work best for me?

The popcount exe does run on my AMD FX8350.
The Stockfish modern exe "Stockfish 301016 64 POPCNT" from ultimaiq.net does work on the X6 1090t and that I believe is exactly Stockfish 8. So I have a popcnt version of SF8 for the X6 now
On the FX8350 the above popcnt exe is almost exactly the same speed as the official POPCNT Stockfish 8 version.
