<div dir="ltr">Thank you so much for your reply, sir. I was trying to buy my own system so that I can work anywhere, can you please suggest me that ryzen 7 2700x or 3700x will be a good processor for DFT calculations? And will i have any edge over intel i7 9700k? Thanks in advance. It will be great for me if you suggest some benchmarks.<div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Savy</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 11 Dec 2019 at 00:53, Lorenzo Paulatto <<a href="mailto:paulatz@gmail.com">paulatz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear Savy,<br>
I think you should ask your thesis supervisor to provide you with the <br>
computing power that is necessary to complete the tasks that you have <br>
been assigned.<br>
<br>
That said, I do not think there is any problem in running QE on AMD CPU. <br>
However on AMD CPUs you won't be able to completely benefit from the <br>
Intel compiler optimizations, which may trade-off the money you save on <br>
AMD CPUs, especially if you are getting Intel compiler for free.<br>
<br>
