<pre>Hello Pamela,
I don't know whether it is clear or not, so I apologize if I repeat obvious
concepts.
I just bought a Threadripper 3990X with 64 core 128 threads. As far as I
remember the 3960X should have 24 core - 48 threads.
It is very very important to don't use more than 24 cores on 3960X . Simply
forget about hyperthreading. No need to disable it in the BIOS, but simply
count the real number of cores.
I use gcc 9.3.0 and the new gcc 10 should be even better for AMD cpus.
With openblas 0.3.12 I found that my 8-cores home Ryzen 3800X is fast as a
Xeon 12 cores E5-2680 using quantum espresso 6.4.1
