Don’t know about you but his builders actually benchmark the CPUs.

Dansgaming uses the 18 core i9 for his streaming box.

Not every application a person uses scales to high core counts, in such situations a CPU with good single thread performance (in addition to high core counts) would be beneficial.

Cache performance matter too. AMD’s CPUs have a split L3 cache. Some applications might not like that.

But do you know what really scales to high core counts? Running more than one application at a time.


> Running more than one application at a time.

Depends on how much memory bandwidth and how much CPU cache your applications are using.

Wouldn’t what to trash the L3 cache and worsen the situation with a saturated memory bus.
