Thing is, the new CPU has a lower bogomips number than my current CPU does. That doesn't seem right. So, I guess that number no longer means much. So, I went digging on the site you linked to. I found this but not sure what to make of it. https://openbenchmarking.org/vs/Processor/AMD+Ryzen+9+5900X+12-Core,AMD+FX-8350+Eight-Core Some tests, my CPU is faster. Most, the new one is faster. Some by quite a bit. It seems most things would improve but others may not. Am I reading that correctly? I'm trying to figure if I'd be better in the long run to buy that expensive CPU or pick one of the cheaper ones you mentioned. I started off with a 4 core on current rig and went to 8 core and slightly higher frequency. Money wise it was pretty painless. I could do that again with new rig. Once I pick a CPU, the rest will come easier. Mobos have to have the right socket, then it has only certain memory sticks that will fit etc etc etc. Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Googling just leads to a ton of confusion. What's true 6 months ago is wrong today. :/ It's hard to tell what still applies. Dale :-) :-)

Since I personally don’t have any experience with high-performance contemporary CPUs and can’t remember all those reviews I read in my newsfeed from time to time, I tend to visit benchmark sites like the aforementioned cpubenchmark.net. Those provide comparable numbers of synthetic and/or real-world benchmarks for both single- and multi-core use cases. The Phoronix Test Suite is another notable name, and also very linux-centric. I haven’t used that one myself yet, but have a look and click around: https://openbenchmarking.org/suites/pts It’s open source, so you can run it on your own machine to get comparison numbers. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

I hope I've understood you, but if you have a PPD file, you just specify it directly.. No messing about with makers - just pick Another Network Printer and copy in the file name. For instance, with my Lexmark printer I tell it to use /usr/local/src/. -- Regards, Peter.

I have one of those processors. I can't give you benchmarks or anything, but in practice at 3.7GHz it blows the socks off my older i7-5820K at 3.3 MHz. -- Regards, Peter.

I looked at a few lists of CPU processors. This is a bit pricey but I may try to buy a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core @ 3.7 GHz. It has 4 more cores but clock speed is a little slower. Even just comparing number of cores and the fairly close clock speed, that alone should make it a bit faster. Add in that they make them run code more efficiently now, should be a good bit better. I usually try to aim for 4 or 5 times more processing power. I suspect this may help with encryption as well since newer CPUs have extra code just for that on there now. Most of the mobos also handle a lot more memory as well. I have 32GBs now. Most support 64GB and I think I saw a 128GB version somewhere. Just comparing CPU to CPU, what would you expect as far as increase in speed? I'm not expecting a exact number, just curious as to how much difference I could reasonably expect. As to another reply, I've looked at the following cases. Fractal Design Node 804 Lots of hard drive space. Gamemax Master M905 Lots of drive space here too. A little like my current HAF-932 case. Thermaltake Tower 900 Tons of hard drive space. Looks really large tho. Most of those have a fairly close price range depending where I buy. My biggest thing, hard drive space. I added up the other day, including backups and such, I have around 100TBs of hard drive space. I made a list. 2 16TB, 3 14TB, 1 10TB, 2 8TB and a 6TB. I may have another one lurking about somewhere. Most of the larger ones are in my main rig. Trying to figure out how much improvement I can expect. I'm mostly just worried about the age of my current rig tho. Dale :-) :-)
