> The Zen core had a pretty good (but no that amazing) success in the consumer market, because although people admired its multi-threaded performance, they were merely lukewarm about its single-threaded perf which "just" almost matches Intel.
That's highly variable, I was actually pretty astounded by it's single core performance and completely blown away by its multicore performance.
I built a 1700 (not even a +) for work a few weeks ago and I keep running into things where I pause and think something crashed because it can't have finished that fast...
Yesterdays was 5Gb of mixed data in 18s (turns out the SSD is the bottleneck), if I wasn't busy with a new job I'd be trying that 5Gb of data out of a RAM disk just to see how fast pigz (love pigz by the way, multithreaded gzip) can go with 8 cores/16 threads.
