DragonFlyBSD Replacing Their 48-Core Opteron Infrastructure With Ryzen 9 3900X CPUs

A Threadripper 2990wx would rip the 3900X and the upcoming 3950X apart.

The upcoming 3990wx would run circles around a 2990wx. It would be better to get benchmarks of software compilation, but the 3900x is not doing that badly against the 2990wx in the multithreaded benchmarks here:

Given that Matthew wants to reduce power consumption while increasing performance, the 3900X is not a bad choice.

Matthew Dillon is not the only developer considering a switch to Ryzen. I am thinking of replacing my Intel Xeons with a Ryzen 3000 system. My equipment is more modest than his. I have a single socket Xeon E5-2687W v2 and a Xeon E3-1276 v3. At this point, it is mostly a matter of me making time to go to the local store to get the motherboard and CPU. Also, I intend to use ECC RAM with it too.
