I'm having a lot of trouble finding compilation performance comparisons of the new 8c/8t vs old 6c/12t chip. I currently have a 6700k at home on a crappy motherboard (won't even run the RAM at it's xmp profile) and my new work desktop (an 8700k) compiles our firmware in 6.5 minutes compared to the 11 minutes in my home machine. Needless to say, I'm going into the office a lot more than I used to because of how much faster the PC is!
Our build is NOT making the best use of parallel jobs - there's a lot time spent linking large objects or running inefficient bash scripts. For this reason (and some heavy blue bias) I don't think ryzen would be a good choice; I need the single-core performance as well.
So this is what brings me to the 8700k v. 9700k. Has anyone actually run some gcc tests - such as compiling the Linux kernel - on these CPUs? I found a BIG chart of Linux kernel compile times, but it is notably lacking any 9th gen chips.
Also - I have Corsair lpx 3000 RAM and 970 Evo SSD, so I'm covered there. Just need new CPU/motherboard/cooler.
I do occasional gaming via steam's (AMAZING) new Linux support... But I don't expect either of these CPUs to make a difference when I'm running 1060 6GB GPU.
