Please see other comments. It's EPYC and not RYZEN. 2.0 Ghz base clock speed is not nice for single-thread.

For compilation it is a beast. Built a dual 7551 Epyc workstation for myself recently, it builds llvm in ~160 seconds from scratch. https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1809030-AR-DUAL7551867

God damn that's a beast!

Epyc is the name for the server chips. Both Ryzen and Epyc are based on the same microarchitecture.

Both based on Zen. Still I wanted the high-clock-core and not the hundred-slow-cores.

In that case, Threadripper is the core that is inbetween.
