Is anyone on here a proud owner of one of the current gen enthusiast platforms? (Threadripper or i9)

I am seriously wondering how much impact that brute power has on my build times. I just tried a ramdisk for my maven build and it seems that the faster storage did not increase build times much. So I am assuming there is a cpu bottleneck?

I'm interested as well

@CristCD hm one of the few ones it seems.

I have been running benchmarks so here are my findings on my maven project (multi module spring with a bunch of integration tests). (Running i7 7700k and samsung m.2 drive)

Ramdisk for workspace: did not matter

Run integration tests concurrently: did not matter

Run unit tests concurrently: vastly slower

Disable 2 cores: no difference

Overclock to 5 GHz: 15% faster.

It is safe to say that the clock speed of the processor is the bottleneck on my system. So threadripper is probably not going to make the builds faster.

@ChappIO well, that's disappointing.
