Prime95 and hybrid processors

ixfd64 · 2021-08-06, 20:19

Intel is planning to introduce hybrid processors with heterogeneous cores: https://extremetech.com/computing/31...ith-alder-lake

Does Prime95 support these configurations, or are changes needed?

Changes will be required. Until then, you'll have to edit local.txt and override the #cores and #hyperthreads. The problem is not in hwloc, but rather prime95. Prime95 assumes all cores have the same number of hyperthreads.

I see. Hope it's not too much work for you!
