      The test data on article is about server setup which is the right use case for this change.

      Moreover the L3 cache on CPU is what makes significant difference, IMO.

      If that is true, not sure how much improvement consumer-grade desktop will see, given that most consumer-grade CPU will not have that much L3 cache on chip.

        AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.

          Yes, that’s true. Only if Intel follows the same in future.

          On a separate note, 5800X3D seems to be most efficient (throughput/watt) consumer grade CPU out there right now.

            Pretty sure the 7800x3D surpasses it and the 7950x3D is no slouch either.

            That’s definitely a CPU for server (unless you are a general consumer with lots of $ 🙂 ).
