I can confirm that, I bought a new desktop PC with a 1700 for home use around Easter, and on CPU-bound workloads with sufficient parallelism (e.g. video encoding), that thing is just insanely fast.

It's a bit of a shame, really, that most of the time it just sits there doing almost nothing. ;-)

I hammer mine though and it handles it with complete aplomb.
