Miles and I replace the CPU and RAM in my main PC, while discussing various computer related topics and telling some stories.

Notes:

• My CPU numbers were off. The 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture with a base clock of 3.6GHz with a boost clock of 4.4GHz. The 5950X is a Zen 3 architecture with a base clock of 3.4GHz with a boost clock of 4.9GHz. Both use a 7nm process. In reality, given adequate cooling, the higher boost clock and one generation uplift of the 5950X should render it faster than the 3700X, even in single core performance. This seems to be true in the benchmarks as well, see https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-5950X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-3700X/4086vs4043. Specifically, in 1, 2, 4, and 8 core benchmarks, the 5950X was faster by between 19% and 37%. This doesn’t even take into account that the 5950X has another 8 cores which can be applied to suitable workloads.
