I do a bunch of live video stuff (which, for the uninitiated, means "hi, I'm ffmpeg, I want all your processors") and I learned, the hard way, that I couldn't put a 16C/32T Threadripper in the box--it's a 4U case in a Gator transport case--because 180W would blow out my heat budget. 12C/24T at 105W should be doable. I'm excited; right now I'm constrained because stuff like my CG system is built on Chromium and so it gets a little chewy when I run multiple independent overlays. Doubling my cores--I have a Ryzen 1600 in there right now--and probably increasing single-thread performance by 40% should make my life pretty interesting.

Cool, but we haven't seen compiling benchmarks yet. 12 cores might be bottlenecked by dual-channel memory.
