My PC support both Berserk-9x64-avx2, and Berserk-9x64-avx2-pext. My question is which of the two Berserk should perform better with everything being equal Chess Opening, My newer P.C ==> https://magicmicro.com/smoreinfo.asp?ii ... AEQAvD_BwE

I really do NOT believe that it makes any different what version of Berserk I use, they will perform equally. :roll:

Berserk-9x64-avx2-pext would be the one to use.

Simply run a benchmark and find out. That is what the rest of us do.

That Threadripper is Zen2 I think, if so then you may find that the Berserk-9x64-avx2 is significantly faster.

I finished running 100 games T/C 3/2 and the final score was 49.5 to 50.5 in favor of Berserk-9x64-avx2-pext :roll:
