GCC on Ryzen with just -march=x86-64 is noticeably faster than Clang in a similar configuration while the znver1 optimization level does regress the performance.

GCC with znver1 is faster than Clang for LAME MP3 encoding.

libjpeg-turbo's tjbench benchmark hadn't encountered any real changes over the tested compilers.
