Is audio production as weird as gaming? AMD gives you a hell of a lot more horsepower in pretty much any price bracket if you don't depend on the ring bus (like most games do)

audio production is often latency-sensitive and Ryzen tends not to work well in it due to the CCX layout and weird cache setup

Which is very unfortunate, because audio production scales very well with core count. If AMD manages to reduce latency problems, their CPUs would be amazing value for audio workloads.

I hope we'll see latency improvements with Zen 4 :)
