It would be very interesting to test the new algorithm with my 16-core processor & 128Gb RAM & 2080ti

With such amount of RAM I guess I can run 30-32 threads on MTP algo.
But in my opinion a large amount of memory will not become an obstacle for the appearance of ASICs. The RAM will be replaced with high-speed NVME disks, as it is implemented in GPU AMD RADEON PRO SSG VEGA (16GB HBM2 + 2TB SSG). For example, 100ASIC CPUs + 512GB NvMe SSD as RAM. It's just a matter of time and motivation for the appearance of such ASICs.
But I could be wrong, because I did not thoroughly study the work of the new algorithm.
