gollark: What are the actual *specs*, though?
gollark: For example, because of a better scheduler and stuff Threadripper (some Ryzen stuff too?) ran significantly better under Linux for a while, I think.

gollark: I used it a little.
gollark: Intel didn't really make massive advancements from Sandy Bridge to Kaby, and after that they just increased core count mostly.
