@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ The setup below is a minimal example for sealing 32 GiB sectors on Lotus:
Note that 1GB sectors don't require as high of specs, but are likely to be removed as we improve the performance of 32GB sector sealing. Note that 1GB sectors don't require as high of specs, but are likely to be removed as we improve the performance of 32GB sector sealing.
AMD CPU's are __highly recommended__, because of the `Intel SHA Extensions` instruction set that is available there since the `Zen` microarchitecture. Hence, AMD CPU's seem to perform much better on the testnet than other CPU's. Contrary to what the name implies, this extended instruction set is not available on recent Intel desktop/server chips. For the first part of the sealing process, AMD CPU's are __highly recommended__, because of the `Intel SHA Extensions` instruction set that is available there ever since the `Zen` microarchitecture. Hence, AMD CPU's seem to perform much better on the testnet than other CPU's. Contrary to what the name implies, this extended instruction set is not available on recent Intel desktop/server chips.
