On paper AMD Ryzen 5900x has twice horsepower than Intel i5-12400, though in single thread applications, 12400 is lightly better. So we checked this fact by a very simple winform application ( Net 8 - VS 2022 ver. 17.8.4 ):
List<ListViewItem> lv = new List<ListViewItem>();
listView1.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < numericUpDown1.Value; i++)
{
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(i.ToString("D8"));
TestClass t = new TestClass(i);
item.Tag = t;
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID2.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID3.ToString("D8"));
item.SubItems.Add(t.ID4.ToString("D8"));
lv.Add(item);
}
listView1.BeginUpdate();
listView1.Items.AddRange(lv.ToArray());
listView1.EndUpdate();
With
numericUpDown1.Value= 1_000_000
10 times benchmark, Intel cpu completed the task on average in 18 seconds.
AMD cpu never completed the task below 60 seconds.
Intel cpu setup:
Win11 in VirtualBox with 6 cores
16 GB RAM
ADATA NVME 2.0 disk
AMD cpu setup:
bare metal Win11
48 GB RAM
SAMSUNG NVME 2.0 disk.
What's wrong with AMD cpu? Who should we blame on issue: MS or AMD?
Any idea?
P.S.: I'm a hardcore fan of AMD.

It could be a number of things, but the first thing I'd look at is the generated native code and see how it compares for the different architectures. That could make a mountain of difference.
The other things are more difficult to track down, especially with managed code - is your code remaining in the CPU's cache line as its executing?
There's also the other question, and that is Winforms, which relies heavily on the windows subsystem and unmanaged code.
If I were you, I'd fashion a barebones .NET 6+ console application that benches N iterations, 5 times overall where N is some arbitrarily large number based roughly on how long it takes to perform each iteration. Then run that on both and check your results.

There is something more to the issue that is not apparent from the information provided. As Honey pointed out, there are many other factors to consider.
As for the code itself, it baffles me why you want to load 1M rows into a ListView control like that. You're much better off finding ways to reduce the number of rows loaded. However, if you need to do this, there are better ways like virtualization. Read this (with code sample): ListView.VirtualMode Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Learn[^].
If you make this change, the app will run much more efficiently on both machines.

It's not a practical application. It should get the attention it deserves.
My first thought was keyboard buffers, repetition counts and reentrancy. But there is no keyboard.

I agree. Dhrystone mainly tests integer and character operations, the most common operations.
but it's a clean start.

Configure projects to target platforms - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn[^]
An interesting/easy thing to try is building specifically for x86 and x64, testing both.
It's a bit weird this isn't inverted. (x64 = AMD instruction sets, afaik - even on Intel chips)
Aside that, I think strings being a bit of a special animal is likely playing into this heavily.
Also, setting a .Tag to an object (instead of a string) is "weird" but that weirdness may be a figment of my imagination and that may be a perfectly normal thing to do.

I just finished writing a source generator for my Visual FA project that lets you easily define lexers which it will then implement for you.
The same day, it turns out I needed a lexer for work in order to parse a C header and make a CSV out of particular data in it.
This isn't the first time something like that has happened to me, and it never gets old.

Yes. I realized I had a pretty decent "geometry" library; just when I though I had to write some (more). Just needed to put them all in the same namespace / mindspace.

Apparently my subconscious knows my colleagues plans ahead of time as well. Not sure how I feel about that.

I need to show some value for continous measurement(s):
a.) Current Measurement Value
b.) Mean Value of the measurements
c.) Standard deviation of the measurements
c.) In case there is no or only one measurement... From my point of view, I should not show any value here. Not even 0
b.) I have my doubts. The mean value is the current value. Or should I also show blank?
a.) Is easy. As soon one has measured it is easy to show current valu
Especally b.) drives me crazy
Any suggestions/thoughts? Thank you very much in advance 
|

I think we'd need more context.
Is the measurement expected to remain within some range?
Do measurements expire after some time elapses?
|
|
|
|
|
Simply measurements 1...N. No restrictions.
The question is: If I have only one measurement, should I display
1.) A mean Value?
2.) A Standard Deviation (which would be 0 for one measurement)
Thanks

|
|
|
|
Maybe display the latest value and allow the user to drill down to see more of a trend (if available)?
|
|
|
|

1. For one measurement current value and mean value are the same. No nitpicking here.
2. Standard deviation, that's where nitpicking begins. What you actually calculate is an estimator of the standard deviation and, if you want an unbiased estimator, you need to divide the sum of squares by N-1. That means you cannot display anything until you have at least two measurements.

My idea is for _one_ measurement I will display neither mean nor deviation.
But I have a strange feeling this is only nitpicking and will confuse maybe the users.
On the other hand, somebody who really understand deviation should understand it  If not, display of deviation and mean does not make sense anyway, I think

The more I think about it, the more I tend to agree with you.
