Ever thought that computer cycles and cycling have something in common?
You can actually do both in the PrimeGrid Tor de Primes (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=7805#113444)
It will run the complete month of February!
I guess that means I will buy that Ryzen 7 1700 instead of the A12 9800E to go with my Asrock AB350M Pro4...even if that means I may be a little bit short on RAM/Thread for a while though.

Dirk if you are planning on running LLR I advise a Coffee Lake CPU will perform better. AMD just haven't mastered LLR'ing yet.

I will first replace my FM1 APUs with the present and future APUs, then commence buying all different Asrock AM4 and TR3 Taichi mobo's and filling them with Ryzen 7 1700s (and better) and Ryzen 10s (follow-up on Threadripper) CPUs, then I will look into the Intel offerings. By then Zen 4 is out I guess...
