Yeah the 5950x will run circles around any Haswell based CPU. I suppose for single threaded tasks, it’s still not a massive jump ( although still pretty substantial).

I get that CPUs were moving at a snails pace before but AMD really shook things up with the 3000 and now 5000 series.

I've found single core 5950x performance to be 20-30% faster in my ruby/rails benchmarks, vs my old 4 core Xeon (which had single core turbo at 4ghz).

Very happy with the upgrade
