Where? I'm watching it now and SF averages around 120 Mnps.

Very interesting. I've never seen a speed that high. I'm just surprised that some endgames give it 10x the average NPS.

In another note, I am slightly saddened that the top chess tournaments aren't using the best chips. Chess.c*m is using epyc CPUs from 2019! (Zen 2)

In won position Stockfish uses small net. So speed is similar to old handmade evaluation.
