Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.
AVX is used to help speed up calculations in multimedia, scientific and financial apps, as well as improving Linux RAID software performance.
SSE is used to speed up multimedia tasks such as editing an image or adjusting audio volume. Each new version contains new instructions and improvements.
F16C is used to speed up tasks such as adjusting the contrast of an image or adjusting volume.
NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
MMX is used to speed up tasks such as adjusting the contrast of an image or adjusting volume.
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
The CPU can decode more instructions per clock (IPC), meaning that the CPU performs better

Upgraded from i5-2500k to the Monster 3950x Ryzen

For 11 years I rocked the i5-2500k and for all that time I had it overclocked to 4.6ghz stable. I spent most of that time waiting for my renderings to finish. Probably years over the 11 years in waiting times. I bought a ryzen 3950x and was amazed, truly amazed at the speed difference. I managed to get hold of a test rig on ebay for £500 which had the ryzen 3950x with an msi x470 pro gaming and 16gb ram. The performance in 3ds max rendering is mental. A single image at 1080p resolution on the i5-2500k would take for example 5 minutes this has now been reduced to 15 seconds. It really is the difference between night and day now. I would recommend without a shadow of a doubt that this would be a worthy upgrade to any enthusiastic productivity craver. My projects can be done in no time. I'm running Windows 11 which the motherboard can handle so that's a nice bonus. Happy days. I'm still in week 2 of owning the ryzen 3950x so will be sure to update in time any changes to my opinion.
