+When upgrading to 128mb/6s, validators must use hardware that passes the [CPU benchmark](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app/blob/main/tools/cpu_requirements/README.md). If your server does not pass, upgrade to a more powerful machine.
+
+For a list of CPUs tested for 128mb/6s, see the [release notes](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app/blob/main/docs/release-notes/release-notes.md#v6---128mb6s). Other CPUs are acceptable if they pass the benchmark. Recommended CPU specs:
+
+- 32 or more cores
+- GFNI (Galois Field New Instructions) support
+- SHA-NI (SHA New Instructions) support
