I am mining Monero with xmrig 5.11.1. I am using an AMD Ryzen 1950 cpu on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. I am trying to optimize my mining.
This is the output of the “h”. It shows an “anomaly” in threads 12, 13, 14, and 15. Their hash rate is much higher, 380 vs 160 as on the other threads.

I don’t believe I have anything special in my config.json doing this. But I’d love to cause all the other threads to mine accordingly with those high hash rates, too. I have an AMD Ryzen 1950 with 32 threads, as you see I am using 0 – 27 to mine. The other 4 are for me to do whatever. I can adjust accordingly if I have to.
Below, in my config.json, most of it is default created by xmrig when I ran it for the first time, it filled in a lot of defaults I realize I probably don’t need. The only thing I changed was the “rx” under the “cpu” to specify those 28 threads. The priority of 2 is just something I added as an experiment to fine-tune. I’m not married to that. Also, I changed my asm to “ryzen” and hugepages to true.
I am also using huge pages as suggested here https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/hugepages#onegb-huge-pages. And randomx_boost from the same source.
