26-Way Intel/AMD CPU System Comparison With Ubuntu 16.10 + Linux 4.10 Kernel

First up is a look at the Blender 3D modelling software when limiting it to run solely on the CPU. The red results should be more competitive once Zen/Ryzen has been released. It will be interesting to see where the Kaby Lake Core i5 7600K and i7 7700K fit. With Blender, even the old Haswell era Core i7 4790K is among the fastest.

And an interesting look at how the Intel/AMD CPU performance has evolved, this time when running the Darktable RAW photography workflow software on Linux. AMD's best competition for this comparison remains just the FX-8350 and FX-8370 (for reminders, the 8350 and 8370 both have a 4.0GHz base clock frequency while the 8370 has a turbo to 4.3GHz and the 8350 has a turbo to just 4.2GHz).
