  1. Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge / Haswell were ridiculously good chips. My 4790K scores similarly in single-core benches to my OC'd 5900X¹. The only reason I upgraded was because I needed more than 32GB of RAM.² ¹tbf, this is partially a "skill issue" on my part ²I have 128GB and honestly would upgrade again if 128GB weren't still the upper limit short of going Threadripper / Xeon.

  4.  @zakhir91  Ryzen 9. But also, I was remembering incorrectly—Geekbench single-core score is 1344 for the Haswell vs. 2103 for the Zen3, so about a 50% improvement.

  5.  @thepirate4095  Yeah, that lines up with my results. I had this conversation with someone else—I misremembered, and when I checked my history, the 5900X had a roughly 50% increase in performance on the single-thread test.
