My new computer is operational :

  • Gigabyte B760 AORUS Elite AX
  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K CPU
  • Memory: 2x32GiB DDR5
  • NVMe disk of 2TB

Retrieved from my previous computer:

  • Corsair Graphite series 760T box
  • WaterCooling
  • SSD disks, 180GB and 480GB
  • SATA disk of 4TB

This computer is now my main development workstation and also my x86_64 builder.

First test, boot time < 5", PHP 8.3 build takes 20" instead of 55". Nice.

CPU Benchmark shows tripling of results, see i9-9900K vs i9-13900K

Another comparison, building grpc extension RPM, with the old i9-9900K

  • 4'12" for a single build using -j16
  • 3'29" average for 2 builds using -j8
  • 3'25" average for 3 builds using -j5

With the new i9-13900K

  • 2'20" for a single build using -j32
  • 1'20" average for 2 builds using -j16
  • 1'05" average for 3 builds using -j10

I plan to extend it quickly:

  • +64GiB memory

Thanks to all who want to participate, see the Merci/Thanks page.

Of course, my previous machine, from 2019, will be re-used
