This should get more recognition from the media. Especially as AMD are launching server and high-end CPUs with high core-counts (where I assume a large part of the market will be programmers), getting 120fps instead of 140fps in ${SOME_GAME} is irrelevant compared to unpredictable crashes during `make -j 16`. Personally I would like to build a Ryzen (possibly ThreadRipper, depending on pricing) computer this year, but that is definitely on hold until this issue is fixed.

More recogniced just like the Intel bugs on their BayTrail and appraently also the new Apollo Lake(same CPU family). https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 - check how old it is... I have a sad HomeServer (J1900 BayTrail).

  Reminds me of when i first fiddled with Linux, and while checking out dmesg noticed a line up top about having detected a bug in the CPU and deploying a workaround. I am not sure, but i think it may have been the F00F bug.

Are there any performance benchmarks associated with building software? Similar to your point, gaming benchmarks are totally meaningless to me, but I would love to learn about the difference in time it takes to build some large software (e.g. Chrome) on various cpus.

    Wow that was fast and exactly what I meant. Thanks again

    Chrome compilation should be heavily parallelized. (It is my core use case. I only care about system big project compilation speed. ) The report seems to show Intel 4C/8T is doing better than AMD 8C/16T with much bigger L2/L3 cache config. Is 7700K really that good? Can anyone from AMD explain this? Intel (Kaby Lake) Core i7 7700K (91W, $339) 4C/8T, 4.2 GHz, 1MB L2, 8MB L3 17.81 AMD (Zen) Ryzen 7 1800X (95W, $499) 8C/16T, 3.6 GHz, 4MB L2, 16MB L3 16.32
