This system has been posted many many times across various articles. And they all share the same speculation (likely parroted from each other with no additional or independent info) that this is a 64c/128t threadripper.
let us not forget how easy it is to falsify BOINC system specs. It’s very easy to change the number of cores reported by using the ncpus option in the cc_config file. The floating point and integer speeds also look falsified and not in line with true measurements on a system like a 64c threadripper.
it could be a real TR7000. But there’s just no real proof. It could just as easily be some other system with fake specs. No way to tell conclusively. Take it with a truck load of salt.
