Single RTX 5090 Beats 12-GPU Cluster in Go Proof Benchmark
A single RTX 5090 solved a Go proof in 41 hours, compared to 8.9 hours for a 12-GPU GTX 1080Ti cluster, but required 41% less total search work. The single card achieved 2x per-slot throughput and benefited from more frequent model updates (4,007 vs 208). The benchmark shows hardware and algorithmic gains over a decade, with colocation of training and inference driving efficiency.
Meridian48 take
The wall-clock loss is less impressive than the 41% reduction in search work, which highlights how colocation of training and inference can amplify the benefits of online fine-tuning.
