What's really needed is to add support for DoH or similar to internet gateways. Attacks are nearly always between the gateway and the internet and not between the client and the gateway on the same LAN, and then the gateway can safely

Have you looked at what 7zip is doing? That should be a similar type of code and it runs very well on Zen2.

Are you measuring actual performance though or just IPC? We know Intel has that problem with AVX-512. You can get a lot of throughput per cycle with those instructions but the cost is they cause the processor to run hot and have to downcloc

It's ~6% faster for GIMP, <4% faster on AES encoding, ~10% faster on Cinebench ST, ~11% faster on Blender, ~3% faster on Luxmark etc. It does really well on 7zip in particular. If you spend all day unzipping things you should be ver

Can you name this Intel CPU which is as fast, has an iGPU and costs $99? Zen2 is faster than Zen+, but Zen+ isn't that slow.

It's not the same distance though. The way to convert "lower is better" to "higher is better" is to invert the results, e.g. convert seconds per render to renders per second. You take 1/X where the original num

It's not a presentation issue, the pc-kombo.com site is just a garbage. In one of the Blender graphs it has the 3900X as "10839" and the 2700X as "10732" (very close together), but it links to the Anandtech results

by zrm 6y ago
The 3900 seems like massive overkill for that. You might want to look at something like the 3400G or 3200G, since who wants to buy a separate GPU for a NAS anyway.

That Blender result is nonsense, they screwed up the test somehow. This is a better comparison: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2125?vs=2519 The 3900X has 50% more cores and Blender is embarrassingly paral

That's registered memory, not supported by Ryzen/Threadripper. Find unregistered ECC DDR4 3200. Or convince AMD to stop artificially not supporting registered memory on Ryzen/Threadripper -- the early Athlons supported both.
