Yeah from what I see the perf single thread is 2x lower than the Ryzen 5500 so even with 2x the cores you get more or less the same. Just that the Ryzen has 2x lower TDP.
Still, considering it is like 4-5x times cheaper and uses a mobo with two CPUs (which saves on cost cause you don't need to build 2 boxes) this might be a good idea that I'll strongly look into. Thanks!
Perf/$ is only decent because they’re dirt cheap on the used market as datacenters are dumping them
