I thought I remembered benchmarks from when the 5800X3D came out showing it was good at code compilation but that is, at the very least, not always true.
> While the build times were similar between the 7950X and 7950X3D, with the latter the CPU power consumption was significantly lower.
Just pretend it’s 2013 and you got a chip with some nice overclocking potential you don’t really want to use because you don’t like heat or the noise it brings.
