Latest Y-Cruncher Version Comes with "Zen 4" and AVX512 Optimization

Y-Cruncher is a multi-threaded Pi calculation benchmark. Its author, Alexander Yee, has access to an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core/32-thread sample, and has developed the latest version 0.7.10 of the Y-Cruncher binary with optimization for the "Zen 4" microarchitecture, and to take advantage of the AVX-512 instruction-set on these chips. Without disclosing the juicy performance numbers obtained in his testing, Yee posted a screenshot of Y-cruncher with the 7950X, on a machine with Windows 11 22Hx, and 64 GB of memory. You know it's optimized, since the multi-core efficiency is as high as 98% (all threads are being saturated with the Pi calculation workload).

I began using y-cruncher back in like 2013~2014, on Nehalem Quad CPU Xeons (40core) they were Supermicro X8-QBE-TLF iirc, and y-cruncher was literally the only Prime/HyperPi equivalent that wouldn't actually crash on such a huge core count, it was a life saver as i needed to confirm hundreds of platforms stability without the nuance or added difficulty of distinguishing app crashes due to the apps limitation opposed to due to platform stability.

I've recommended y-cruncher over the other software ever since, I'm glad to see the development is still amazing as ever and the software is just as robust as it was since the day I came across it.

Yea y-cruncher detects very tiny memory instabilities quite well.
Very useful verifying memory overclocking.

I've only recently came across y-chruncher. Very good at detecting system stability errors. Basically by crashing lol.
