Hello dear Jordi,
1st of all,
You are as good expert in our chess hobby!
E.g you are one of best in our opening book making and
I'm very glad that we are chess friends for almost 20 years!
That's true...as you stated...
I have some experience in eng testings, but still I learn...
Like you, as you know...this is as never ending process )
And since 2020, how NNUE appeared on scene, e.g in 2023:
Almost all games ending as draw..and in the past we often
Used to play Rapid, Slow TC...but nowadays is meaningless!
Sure in case of running 3700+ and under optimal conditions..
On other hand, and as I stated before:
Bullet or Blitz is not so bad way to test NN 3700+ engines!
E.g in your case (if you run on 2697v2 20 cores machine),
And if the target is to produce many games in short time.. then
You can use and test under Cutechess GUI's current methods:
Bullet 1m+1s: 1 Core, Ponder OFF, 64 mb hash, Concurrent: 16
Blitz 2m+1s: 2 Cores, Ponder OFF, 128 mb hash, Concurrent: 8
Blitz 3m+1s: 4 Cores, Ponder OFF, 512 mb hash, Concurrent: 4
Btw, let's say the goal is to run a serious Blitz MP tour, then
I would prefer running the engines as Ponder ON, in your case:
Blitz 3m+2s: 2 Cores, 512 mb hash, Concurrent: 4
Blitz 5m+2s: 4 Cores, 1024 mb hash, Concurrent: 2
And as you may noticed or not,
Just in case of under the above conditions..your CPUs will be safe...
E.g not so good idea..if running long-tours with 100% CPU usage
Actually if Ponder OFF,
You can run even at 20 Cores (per side) but ıt's not recommended..
Especially in summer time...sure there are some way to reduce temps..
But is it worth?..this is other question of course..
Note also that
The above systems are for Hyper-Threading as Disabled
One thing more,
You may know or not..according to my overall chess benchmarks:
Mostly chess engines run better: when Hyper Threading as Disabled!
By the way, as alternative...
You can try to use my latest Unique Opening Suite, for more details:

And if you are interested.. missed... I ran a new Hash test:
