Hi everyone,

I’m currently planning a "Green Crunching" upgrade to a high-TDP (80W) Intel Panther Lake Mini PC, which I expect to have in hand by early February.

I’m particularly eager to test the Xe3 architecture (Arc B390) on SRBase. With the restoration of hardware-native FP64 support and the massive efficiency gains expected from the 18A node, I'm hoping these new iGPUs can provide a significant throughput-per-watt boost for the Sierpinski/Riesel base searches.

I’ll be running 64GB of DDR5-9600 to ensure the iGPU has a massive shared memory buffer. I'm happy to share clinfo logs and benchmarks once the hardware arrives in Denmark. Are there any specific subprojects the team recommends for testing this new Intel silicon?

We only have TF to run on Intel ARC.
