Building the Linux kernel went from taking over three minutes to now just over one minute with this K-series processor....

While consuming much less power as well.

The single-threaded performance is also a great deal faster.

One of the largest differences was in OpenSSL performance where the 9900K was five times faster than the 990X.

The performance-per-Watt was a 6.8x improvement for OpenSSL.
