Explaining Ryzen 3000 Cache, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs | LTX 2019

This is a really fun discussion with Wendell from Level1 Techs on Ryzen's interesting behaviors with compile benchmarks and "programming" tests.

The result showed the 9900K doing worse than even an R5 2600, which doesn't make much sense when considering frequency and core count, but it turns out that wasn't even what the test was stressing. In this video, Wendell helps distill down why our results were what they were, then talks about if there's a better solution. Like our content?
