I got a great deal on a 1950X setup due to a NewEgg sale, and it's been a powerhouse for various "serious" tasks, but each individual core is pretty anemic and that does hurt it in a few games. If laptop cores are matching or exceeding that, I feel confident in sticking with AMD for the next little while.

Those laptop cores are kerbstomping the zen1 cores according to these benchmarks. Double the performance for single-core geekbench, which matches what I observed as well.
