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

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

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

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. -- Joost On December 6, 2018 10:03:31 AM UTC, Neil Bothwick wrote: >On Thu, 6 Dec 2018 03:27:31
