It has been about six years since M82589933 was proven to be prime. Hope it won't take another six years to find the next one. This also marks the beginning of a new era of GPU supported prime discovery in favor of using Prime95.

The newly found prime has 41024320 digits, all of which you may download here: https://www.mersenne.org/primes/
