Subject: Is Linux Kernel 5.2.1 able to support Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X?

Good morning from Singapore,

Is Linux Kernel 5.2.1 able to support Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X?

Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition has 18 cores and 36 threads while AMD Ryzen 9 3950X has 16 cores and 32 threads.

Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition technical specifications:

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X technical specifications:

https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-3950x

What I am trying to ask is, is Linux Kernel 5.2.1 able to support and make full use of so many CPU cores and so many threads?

Thank you very much.

If your userland has enough paralelism, yes, you can use all the cores.

Build using make -j 36 will use them just fine.
