Did you do the compile with 96 processors enabled?  It won't do that by default.
I am pretty sure you need to change the define for CPUs like this:
#define CPUS=96

Look at this in chess.h:

#if !defined(CPUS)
#  define CPUS 1
#endif

I am guessing you will see (96/4) * 0.7 * 750K = ~12M NPS or so.
