My analysis of threadrippers vs top of the line Ryzens, condensed in 2 points: 1. For significantly more money you get few more cores, a lot more PCIe lanes and 20-30% less frequency (single thread performance). 2. Unless you know that your workload is easily parallelizable to 50+ threads,

Good to know. I didn't realize the gen 3 threadrippers were not out yet. I may have to rethink my build. Thanks, Wayne On 10/31/2019 9:57 AM, Jon Evans wrote: > I don't own either, but am planning a Ryzen build.  The Threadrippers > built on the third-gen Zen are not out yet, but presumably

I don't own either, but am planning a Ryzen build. The Threadrippers built on the third-gen Zen are not out yet, but presumably they will be even better as workstation/server CPUs than third-gen Ryzen. On the other hand, if buying parts today, the 3900X / 3700X seem like way better bang for the

Hi Adam, I would think so if we to fix the crash bug on macos. We would need a 5.1.5-rc1 build with ngspice 31.3 so users could test. I would hope one or more of our macos devs would also test this using our spice demos to at least confirm that things work as expected and that the crash bug has

Simon, I had a quick look at http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/ngspice-eeschema.html#external , where you still are still using ngspice-28. Would you mind to switch to tag ngspice-31.3? There have been a lot of bug fixes an enhancements, many of them initiated by KiCad users. So it might be
