Yes Agner opt. guides are interesting to read. Now I wait for Goldmont.
He is writing about the lack of stabilty in Ryzen. Could it be bad BIOS?
I am also waiting for SPEC 2006 results for Ryzen.
Opteron is really very far behind Xeon...any Ryzen would be better!

FLOPS benchmark on 64 bit Linux: MFLOPS(1)=6645 MFLOPS(2)=4320 MFLOPS(3)=4789 MFLOPS(4)=4869 Floating point is really high if you compare with a low budget ARM like ASUS Tinkerboard (1800 MHz): MFLOPS(1)=544 MFLOPS(2)=422 MFLOPS(3)=571 MFLOPS(4)=634 Integer is not the same ratio. Compare queens -c ...

Have you tested some of the programs here: http://www.netlib.org/performance/html/PDSreports.html I have tested some on my Ryzen 1700 (3.7 GHz).

For Power Mac ...

Some results in floating point:
Pentium Pro = 283 at 200 MHz
Pentium = 120 at 133 MHz
486 DX4 = 27 at 100 MHz
486 DX2 = 19 at 66 MHz
68040 = 13 at 33 MHz

Yes you could get a speed up around 10 times. It was good but a very long step to all the RISC alternatives like MIPS, PA-RISC or Pentium Pro (later).

I started with a math coprocessor with Turbo Pascal and Mandelbrot fractals. It was in the DOS time so I have tested them all 8087, 80287 and 80387. You could run Turbo Pascal without any coprocessor but it was really slow. These coprocessors were not great if you compare here: http://home.vianetwor...

Thank you for your replies! I were believing almost all Linux were the same (if they are X86_64). This is from Debian: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/measurements.php?lang=gpp All results are with Core 2 Quad. Some multi-threding alternatives are tested like Open MP. Looking at SPEC al...

Interesting to see the future in CPU!
But after looking at the forums at Techreport and Anadtech I noticed that most people are interested in overclocking. It should be harder with 10 nm or even worse at 7 nm. But of course it is better for laptops needing long battery life.

I am a bit confused about this link.
Normally Linux is doing well regarding multithreading for example in Spec 2006 and Geekbench 4.
Anything abnormal with Ubunto?

Installing on USB stick can work but it has to do with how it is downloaded. Fedora has an own downloader. Fedora 25 for my new Ryzen 64 bit is working now. I started with a boot download on a 8 GB stick, booted and downloaded the rest of the SW on a 32 GB stick. I have tested downloading Debian and...

Hello, I am new on TR.
Interesting thread!
I am very fond of what I have in Raspberry Pi 3- nothing in Windows is better except the printer data base.
To run my new Ryzen I have tested for example Fedora and Linux Mint but they are worse.
