Since I've impulse-bought a new mini-PC which came with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, I did some benchmarking against the other two machines I regularly run Cygwin builds on:
| Processor | HW | TDP | Base | Turbo | aTurbo | L1i/L1d+L2 | L3 | Mem | comp | inst | pack | test | tot | | | | [W] | [MHz] | [MHz] | [MHz] | [kiB] | [MiB] | [GiB/s] | [min] | [min] | [min] | [min] | [min] | |----------------+------------+-----+-------+-------+--------+------------+-------+---------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| | Xeon E3-1276v3 | 1S/4C/8T | 84 | 3600 | 4000 | 3800 | 32/32+256 | 8 | 25.6 | 101 | 15 | 9 | 445 | 570 | | EPYC 7252 | 2S/16C/32T | 240 | 3100 | 3200 | 3200 | 32/32+512 | 128 | 170.6 | 123 | 9 | 10 | 200 | 342 | | Ryzen 7735HS | 1S/8C/16T | 54 | 3200 | 4750 | 3850 | 32/32+512 | 16 | 75.0 | 68 | 32 | 7 | 200 | 307 | The kicker is that it is running at around 9W idle and 70W under full load (measured on primary side), so it's also a lot more energy efficient. It was even cheaper per-core than the used machines I was buying before. Extensibility is of course limited, but works for what I'm going to use. The original plan was to make this my new Linux desktop and replace the 9 year old Haswell I'm using right now and wait until the 16-core Phoenix processors are finally available, but I'll probably have to re-think that.
