I used bazel on Threadripper and it's much faster there than on a standard lower core machine.

I might consider upgrade my workstation. My quadcore i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz isn't up to the task.

After this post, I am thinking about replacing my TR with this beast :-)

If you're already on a 16c Threadripper, it may be worth it... presuming the shared IO/Memory controller carries over, it'll have much better throughput on memory constrained workloads that bottleneck with NUMA.

In my experience builds love parallelism, and even get singificant improvements at 4T per CPU, so a 16/32 like this should be great.
