I don't think a straight 'drop-in/replacement' will boot.
The CPU scheduler does change from 'fam10h' to 'fam15h'.
The '3DNow!' && 'enhanced 3DNow!' ( used in fam10h ) instructions are
dropped / removed in fam15h.
Doing the 'emerge -e @world' with '-march=generic' is probably the only
guaranteed

Video encoding is one of the prime example where more cores will scale
very well. You can almost halve encoding time by doubling

You will still get a speed up due to the newer CPU architecture and
the higher frequency.

USE_CPU does not do anything, AFAICT. CPU features are specified in
CPU_FLAGS_X86. You can get appropriate flags using the
app-port
Hi,
I think that is how I got the flags for the current CPU. Those commands
look familiar. Since then, I think cpuid2cpuflags can do most of it,
tho it does seem to fall short on some flags. The way you did it
reveals a lot more details.
My concern is this tho. I have my old CPU still instal
My two cents worth :
Update gcc before changing any hardware.
With gcc somewhat current, try this on the replacement CPU.
This gives a listing of all CPU supported compiler flags.
Including -mtune / -march :)
gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target
sample of output :
-msse4
I was trying to update to KDE Frameworks 5.52.0
when I ran into an obstacle with Kdewebkit which I hadn't seen previously :
when configuring, Emerge got stuck due to a Cmake mismatch.
I found the solution by giving Google a long string from the build log
& thereby getting a query to the Gentoo Ita
Be careful to reduce the interval for reporting the progress.
Not sure if the memory leak was fixed yet, I ended up setting the interval to
10 to 30 minutes in the past to avoid memory issues.

Howdy,
I mentioned in other threads that I'm doing some upgrades to my system.
My first question is about a CPU upgrade. I currently have this for my
CPU, from cpuinfo:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
I've bought but not yet installed a FX-8350 CPU. I have this in my
make.conf file:
CFLAG
