I'm surprised to see that. See for comparison: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen-1800x-linux&num=5 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen-18... has the Ryzen 7 1800X beating even the i7 5960X when compiling the Linux kernel. http://www.hardware.fr/articles/956-13/compilation-visual-studio-mingw-w64-gcc.html http://www.hardware.fr/articles/956-13/compilation-visual-st... has the Ryzen 7 1800X drawing around even when compiling Boost (under both MSVC and MinGW gcc, so it isn't just a compiler difference). I wonder if it's linking the huge binaries at the end of the compile that makes all the difference, especially with the difference in L3 caches? I'd be surprised if the individual compile units were that much larger as to make a difference.
