Google DeepMind Repeats RSA-1024 Benchmark With 391 CPU Core-Years

Google DeepMind repeated an RSA-1024 benchmark using 391 CPU core-years, running the same instance and algorithm as an earlier computation but on different hardware. The task did not recover a private key, indicating the work was a benchmark repetition rather than a cryptographic break. The result underscores the computational challenge of factoring large numbers.
