Around 350 OpenZikas a day on a stock 2700x (Linux), I would think 10-15 % less on Windows.

Thanks Sgt Joe. I would be interested to hear from somebody with an AMD to see how many tasks they can get through in a day. Ryzen 5 1600, all cores at 3392 MHz. Running 9 of 12 threads at 100% 24/7 with Win 10, I return an average of 82 projects a day (Mix of Zika, MCM and MIP). Single Fan Corsair AIO cooler, 16 GB of 2667 DDR4, 128GB SS Drive. CPU Never gets above 55C with 24C ambient |

CPU Never gets above 55C with 24C ambient That would mean that I would be able to return roughly 41 units a day because my I 7 5960 X using 15 out of the 16 cores at stock speed at boost of 3.48 GHz at a temperature of 49° Unsure what women temperature would be but below 24° only run about about 12 hours. That is a dramatic increase compared to what my 16 core machine is currently doing.In 7 days I complete 53 calendar days of work & 598 tasks which works out to be 7.57 calendar days per day & 85.43 tasks (Zika) To get this I went 53 divide by 7. I am guessing with your turbo boost you would get about 3.8 GHz?  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Speedy51 at Jun 15, 2019 4:38:57 AM] |

The most I've pushed the Ryzen 5 1600 in overclocking is 3.6 GHz on all 6 cores; I've been running at 3.4 GHz on all 6 cores, a less aggressive overclock, for over a year.
----------------------------------------This comparison of average CPU time to complete MCM jobs might be helpful: Xeon E5620 @ 2.4GHz, Ubuntu 18.04, 4hrs Core 2 Duo X7900 @ 2.8GHz, Ubuntu 18.04, 4hrs I5 4670K @ 4.2GHz, Win 10, 1.95 hrs Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.4GHz, Win 10, 3.6hrs Notice that none of the average CPU times required to complete MCM tasks reconcile based on just the ratio of CPU clock speed. There are other factors to consider, including OS (Linux/Win 10), number of threads per core and IPC considerations. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Macromancer at Jun 15, 2019 1:17:34 PM] |

Looking at your stats I would say MCM likes Intel running Windows 10 your run time is 1.95 hours which is good for an older (discontinued) CPU. |

Is there any truth in terms of performance that a Ryzen 9 is the equivalent of an Intel I 5?

Looking at your stats I would say MCM likes Intel running Windows 10 your run time is 1.95 hours which is good for an older (discontinued) CPU. I think the reason, the i5-4670K is so fast, is simply, that it is not hyperthreaded. That increases single-thread performance, but allows only half the number of threads. Both the Xeon E5620 and the Ryzen 1600 are hyperthreaded. |

The reason why I want high-speed per core is so I can achieve my badges as fast as possible. The badges are given for time worked on a project, not the throughput of the machine on the project. If you are only badge hungry, get as many cores as you can possibly afford. If you are concerned with throughput per cpu, get the fastest cpu you can afford. If you are looking for the most efficient use of your electricity, do the math on throughput per watt (which I am sure someone has already done.) That being said, do what you can afford, every little bit helps. Cheers This. If you want badges just get some cheap, 4 core android phones. Once 3xxx series comes out the 2xxx chips should be pretty good bargains as people sell off used systems.  |

I agree there will certainly be a price drop in July when the 3xxx series comes out. I am also not really interested in buying secondhand computers because you are not aware of what you are in for in terms of reliability because of this I would rather buy new. |

I have bought many second hand computers and found them fairly reliable. That being said, I have fried a couple of motherboards and a few power supplies, but this may also have happened with new machines. I run some of them 24/7 and some machines are just not designed for doing that. the price of second is sometimes so cheap, it is not a big deal to replace a machine which has gone belly up. Good luck with your purchase whether new or used.Cheers
