Does anyone have any data on sync times?
Is there any data available anywhere for bitcoinsvd (bitcoin sv daemon) sync times on differing system setups?
im looking for something along the lines of...
It took N minutes with X cpu, Y ram, with Z internet connection speed with a (hdd/ssd) connected via (sata/nvme).
I am ideally looking for any data where the machine had more than 4 logical cores and 8 gigs of ram although any information is helpful.

That would be very difficult, because the largest variable in the amount of time required to sync a node is the rate at which random nodes send it the blockchain data.
Two identical nodes with the same internet connection could take significantly different amounts of times to sync depending on the nodes it connects to.
yes, im aware on how the quality of a given peer affects sync time. Given enough data points for similar systems you can remove some of this variance in peer quality.
I guess you could download the blockchain and then time the amount of time a full reindex would take. That would entirely remove the peer quality variable and give you a good base line for testing different system specs.
