I just upgraded an older Ryzen system from a six core 2600 to an eight core 5700X. Between the additional cores, the additional cache, the higher clock speeds and the IPC improvements, it now compiles the entire OS 178% faster (I chose compiling because it's a real world use, not a synthetic, processor only test - CPU heavy tests show it's more than twice as fast). It's amazing that I can get that kind of improvement without increasing power usage. I often wondered what kind of performance we'd get out of new Ryzens if we limited the power, and now we're starting to find out :)
