The HWBOT Challengers for 2021 are back.

Again 9 Divisions, though we opted to remove one of the older Intel legacies to host a Classic division with hardware dating from a few decades ago instead.

The Challengers are again split in three Rounds. Round 1 as previous year focussing on 2D only. Round 2 will be with focus on 3D Benchmarks

Round 3 will be the mix of both 2D and 3D. To make the competition more accessible, processor  speed limitations have been imposed. 

Competition Schedule is from 15th of February till the 15th of March.
