Cool, never noticed that site before. Danke.

20+% higher benchmark looks good. But 30+% value the other way.

In this particular case, the intel comes at a much higher price due to
price difference in the base system, so the AMD with more RAM is looking
like a good option. Need to ask them about a couple more options that
might rule one or the other out anyway, but I wanted to see if anyone had
an opinion first.

Hmm, I could get another 20% performance over the i7 with a 12 core i7 for
only another $900 :).

BTW, both of the CPUs essentially double what I currently have according
to the benchmark and that will move on to replace something old enough to
no longer be on the list.

My xterms are gonna move so fast they'll wobble without compositing :).

ciao,
