it's very unlikely that a GPU app will ever come out at this point.

Hope so, I've got 2x Quadro K4200 in SLI mode waiting to be used.

I am old enough to have read of early experiments in computers using standing waves in mercury tubes for information storage. I can't remember if it was being used for ram or for some kind of temporary data storage like the "drums" were.

Lets route them through some Mercury circuits :)

Oh my... you are a giggle. And well past any hope.

Back to the riddle for you.

Why does that not surprise me.
Does the term "bull in a china shop" ring a bell and give you an inspiration ?

You might want to look at the bigger picture and consider your technique. You have a lot of knowledge to share. And with a more moderate delivery more people might gain something instead of tuning you out.

All clock cycles are not equal. But all clock cycles are cumulative.

And every completed Task is the same .... Done

Sorry, forgot which Ryzen you have. The #2 Top Participant is a TR 3970X Threadripper.

https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=708920

Similar core count as your 3900XT - 12 cores/24 threads. He is running even faster than yours.

1900 seconds per task. NOT running hyperthreaded at 32 threads. Reported 41 tasks in the same scheduler connection. He is keeping the clock rate up at boost obviously by not running hyperthreaded.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+Threadripper+3970X&id=3623 3.7Ghz base clock.
But more likely closer to the 4.5Ghz boost clock based on the runtimes.

This host proves your point. But I assert this host in an outlier from the general population. The most common and numerous processor is some Intel cpu, probably trending toward a Xeon with their lower clock speeds and longer runtimes.

Most Threadrippers have a significantly lower base, and somewhat lower boost, clock speeds.
eg-

        Threadripper 3990X vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Base Clock     2.9 GHz             3.8 GHz	
Boost Clock    4.3 GHz             4.6 GHz

Higher clock speed, shorter processing time. But if you have enough slower threads, then you still get more work done per hour than a higher clocked system with less cores/threads.

The only reason why Einstein is at the top of the chart of my projects is because the Gamma-Ray gpu tasks award a very high credit award. And they run quickly with my anonymous application. And I've been doing Einstein the longest of all my existing current projects.

I looked at other fast hosts on the top participants page similar to your Ryzen 9 7900XT and the Threadripper hosts have similar clock speeds but don't achieve the same runtimes as your lighter loaded 32 thread cpu.

Well maybe he likes the Asteroids@Home project. If so then until Einstein starts serving up Asteroid tasks on the Einstein project site he will probably leave his GPU's running where they are ... don't you think?

Yes, I am running 0.5 gpu_usage on all my gpu projects. So divide that 220 seconds in half.
I looked at the top participants list and most of the first page have cpu runtimes in the one hour to two hour values. So nowhere near your 2750 second runtimes.

Unless you are running an absolutely ancient card from the Kepler or Maxwell families, you will never be issued a CUDA55 application. Most people will be issued the CUDA102 or CUDA118 applications which are much faster and require much newer drivers.

Those CUDA applications are much faster than running a task on the cpu. Productivity will be much greater also even if running cpu tasks on all cores.
