I started running my 1950x on WCG like last week. About 90-93min per Zika task in Win10. I installed Ubuntu last night and its running at 54-58min. Huge improvement. 3.7GHz atm at XMP 3200 CL14. In Windows it had about the same run times as my 2p 2670v1s in Linux. Older, slower CPUs allowed to keep up due to the OS. I remember in the past, people did tests and Linux performed better on many of the sciences, while in others it performed worse compared to Windows. Just pick the OS you are most comfortable with, and let BOINC use the rest of the resources. If you are building a system purely for crunching, then Linux would be cheaper (free), more lightweight, and several members run it from usb flash drives so they dont even have to install HDDs. |

AMD is pretty bang on right now and giving Intel a huge headache. Which is a very, very good thing. It's about time the silly high prices were forced to bend to us normal folk ;).
----------------------------------------Over $1000 CAD for a processor is just ridiculous. 20 threads or not. I wonder if future Intel processors will turn into the old P4? Interesting times ahead for sure. Competition is always a good thing in my eyes. AMD can finally get back in the game and give excellent performance for the dollar. Considering this is only the 1st generation Ryzen, I can only imagine what future development will bring. Go AMD! JMT.
Crunching for the betterment of human kind and the canines who will always be our best friends.
AWOU! |
