It is absolutely shocking to me how much better that little Ryzen is, for how little money.
I just replaced my older i7 CPU with a newer AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and it’s just absolutely RIDICULOUS how much faster this 3D V-cache (L3 cache) is when running Linux. It’s just crazy, even when doing computational fluid dynamics (CFD, which is my field of work). Intel’s Xeon Silver/Gold/Platinum series processors cost THOUSANDS of dollars, whereas this Ryzen processor is $320. TWICE as fast as Xeon Silver doing the same CFD work.
