ryzen has a lot of cores, nice to run simulators for testing mobile app or VMwares for API hosting. However it will run pretty hot when I load up all cores with child processes and will eventually see clock speed goes to stock eventho temp seems ok... suspect the IOD thermal limit reached. Seems higher chance to corrupt when cache and memory usage is maxed out maybe due to weak IMC. slower single core and even slower multicore clocks. not that nice for single threaded workloads or capped thread. My verdict on AMD, will only recommend 3600, 3700x, and maybe 5600x because it’s better than their competitor at their price point. But the higher end, rarely the cores are maxed and when I did it, all core performance is not guaranteed and it increases the chance of corruption as well cuz ram and cache usage scales when more threads are used. Cannot sleep soundly when a task is running overnight.

intel has lower cores but still acceptable since many applications doesnt saturate that many cores for example, mssql kinda maxed at 20 threads on a basic license. has fast single core and multicore clocks are boosting flat out as well. Temps are actually lower when stretched out and is able to maintain its performance, albeit there’s a roughly 10% drop after the initial max boost even for xeons. Doesnt crash when running similar task as amd above...So it gives a peace of mind to execute a long script and leave it to run overnight. My verdict on intel, better overall consistentency in performance and reliability. But only the higher tier 10700k and above can be recommended and also gotta live with the fact that amd actually wins in synthetic benchmarks, so will be constantly laughed at by amd fans.
