Linus Torvalds moves towards AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X platform
Apparently it is high profile news, as any media outlet is reporting about it. There has been a disturbance in the Force as someone went AMD after being Intel-exclusive for 15 years. Linus Torvalds , the creator of the Linux kernel, updated his PC with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X
Yep, he performed an rm -rf "Intel". This is what he wrote about it in a post on the occasion of the release of Linux 5.7 rc7 :
“In fact, the biggest excitement this week for me was just that I upgraded my main machine, and for the first time in about 15 years, my desktop isn't Intel-based. No, I didn't switch to ARM yet, but I'm now rocking an AMD Threadripper 3970x. My 'allmodconfig' test builds are now three times faster than they used to be, which doesn't matter so much right now during the calming down period, but I will most definitely notice the upgrade during the next merge window. ”
Torvalds didn't release any more details about its new setup, but the 3970X is undoubtedly a big heart for its system. Featuring 32 cores and 64 threads with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and a boost of up to 4.5GHz , manufactured under TSMC's 7nm FinFET process , this Threadripper undoubtedly has all the necessary power for any load you want to run.
We're sure that AMD is happy about news like this.

not familiar with compilers (hardware guy) or how "makes" them, but read a few months back
that ppl saw "optimization"s by/for intel, that get "dropped" if sys isnt showing "intel cpu" flag,
so amd cpus run it much much slower.

Temperatures and power consumption mean little when the performance difference involved is not included.
