Comment on Intel’s Xeon Platinum 8284 CPU: When 300 MHz Cost $5,500parent

The 3570k is not hyper threaded from what I understand. If it was, I would have been thrilled because I am still using that professor myself, waiting for the new threadripper.

Of course, my mistake.

I also updated the 1700X to 2700 this year, the "marginality problem" ([0]) affecting some of the early Ryzens (random segfaults after some minutes of heavily parallel workloads with lots of process creation - e.g. builds!) was getting more annoying when Rust needed to download and compile a bunch of crates. I'm very satisfied - more or less the same performance (3.2 vs 3.4 GHz), but 65 W instead of 95 W TDP.
