I was wondering what the use case was for Skylake X CPUs now as they still seem to be selling well on ebay, I did a little research and it seems like they're good for real time tasks like music production:

Is there anything else that they're better at than AMD's 2950x and 3950x.... other than heating your home?

(Not sure 3990/70/60x are a direct comparison as they're allot more expensive now)

Looks like it's memory heavy on higher core counts as well, X299 CPUs does have better memory controllers than AMD (even on Zen 2) so there's that.

They will destroy all AMD CPUs before Zen 2 if you have FP64 heavy workloads supporting AVX-512, in my case that is for prime number finding using software that works similarly to Prime95. Zen 2 is only kinda competitive because they have more cores for the money. Zen 2 is comparable to consumer Intel CPUs (per core) and earlier Ryzen is about Sandy Bridge level in this use case.

Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

I don't understand allot of the commentary here but it does show allot more benchmarks than the typical blender results that most youtubers go for: https://www.sisoftware.co.uk/tag/avx512/
