| Validator | 32 GB RAM | 16 cores | 2 TiB NVME | 1 Gbps |
| Consensus node | 32 GB RAM | 16 cores | 2 TiB NVME | 1 Gbps |

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
