Important to me, faster on compilation than a 7950x (if you use a Linux desktop). Much faster, if you jump one generation, than the 5950x. While using less power (less fan noise while coding).
It doesn't seem to be a good gaming chip (get an X3D),
but it's a good chip for coding.

I do think memory bandwith might hold it back, Halo Strix is rumored to have double the memory bandwidth, we'll see how that works for coding.
- rbanffy 2y agoI was very surprised there is no 9000 with X3D. Also how hard it was to find this page: https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/processors.html https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/processors.ht... AMD should have an ark.amd.com website.

- rbanffy 2y agoIt feels like a great addition for interpreted languages. Since I spend most of my time writing Python code, I guess it’d make sense for me. I haven’t had an AMD-based machine since the early 2000’s.
