So, I took a break from writing and searched for some more info on the
74xx series CPUs, and from reading lots of articles, including this

It seems apparent that the 74xx series if a great CPU, as long as
you're not memory bound.

This is why I regularly end up recommending people consider Intel's designs here so often, the ones that use triple-channel DDR3, instead of any of the AMD ones. It's extremely easy to end up with a memory-bound workload nowadays, at which point all the CPU power in the world doesn't help you anymore.
