>> What are people using CPUs for? I compile C++ code with an AMD 2400G (zen1+) and parallel builds are way faster than single threaded. I also used the same box to add a bunch of parallel paths to the code (using OpenMP) which improved performance of the app by 3x-4x in some cases with little effort. Compiling a full build is 30-60 seconds for me. If I turn on LTO it's several minutes and that's with parallel builds -j I'm aiming to get a Zen4 or Zen5 with 8 cores one of these days. That should give about 4x speed boost. The new GPU has AV1 support too! |

Not only that, but parallel builds on newer CPUs is way faster than parallel builds on 7 year old CPUs, even at lower clock speeds.
