this link shows what seems to be the general concensus, in a nice little graph :https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Ryzen-7-2700X-and-Ryzen-5-2600X-Review-Zen-Matures/Power-Consumption-Overclocki-0
Do Rizen, or AMD chips in general, tick over at a low speeds when idling, or doing simple admin tasks, or do they just run faster most of the time, irrespective of the load?
seems like the Rizen familly (R5) for equivalent "range" of CPU Versus Intel's (i5) are faster for heavy workload and almost on par for regular stuff
Don't forget to take a live USB of LL when you go shopping!
gamers demand i9 apparently

I'm in no rush to go out and buy a replacement system (quite happy to wait a year) as, given how much these things cost & £ being a bit tight generally, I want to make an informed decision for something that will last. Any feedback much appreciated as ever ... CheersMike
