Kernel compile speed on an EPYC vs Xeon would be very interesting.

Yes, kernel compile speed on EPYC will be EPIC!

[maffblaster]

It would also make an absolutely fantastic gentoo machine

Oh, no! I already bought Ryzen!

That is certainly one motivation for those processors. They should be excellent workstation solutions for a variety of tech workers.

Would love to see some core-to-core benches on games that are known to use more cores. Fuzzing around with scaling (beginning at 4 cores and then up them to the maximum) to see, if something breaks in between and if, how strong that effect is - not only because of NUMA, but maybe also to see eventual issues in the game code itself.

c++ compilation using epyc processors would certainly be of interest to me....

I would be interested in the impact of NUMA on performance.

Micheal, please provide some method of reporting typos within article. I am all the time so disapointed, when I come to read some rants of different fanboys and all I get are some typos reports ;-)

Like misspelling his first name?
