Rob Williams of TechGage take a look at the Linux performance of AMD's new 16-core Ryzen9 3950X CPU and run it through some benchmarks.

A Linux Performance Look At AMD’s 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X

After posting our quick look at the performance of AMD’s new 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X in Windows last week, it quickly became obvious that the rest of our testing was going to be a painfully slow process due to the sheer number of tests that needed doing. With our Linux suite requiring about one-fourth the time to run as the Windows one, and the fact that we had a bulk of the testing done already, it made sense to sideline the rest of the Windows testing until the Linux testing was done. And here we are.

With this article completed, we’re going to return to wrap-up our Windows testing. We’ll then be circling back to Linux soon after to throw new Intel Core X-series and AMD Ryzen Threadripper chips at the test gauntlet.
