It compiles MAME about a minute faster than my M3 Max (7 minutes for a clean full build with tools vs. 8 on my M3 Max), which is what I'm happiest about, but running it really well is great too of course :-) Also Vas is continuing to tune the DRC for both x64 and ARM so there should be small improvements in the heavier games in 0.282 again.

I don't. And MAME is known to like both IPC and memory bandwidth, so I wouldn't expect conclusive results. The best case would probably be the heavily rumored "9950X4D" that's supposed to be coming early next year with V-Cache on both CCDs.
I'm also happy at the recent rumors that Zen 7 is going to still be Socket AM5, so there's potentially a nice upgrade path all the way through 2028 with just replacing the CPU and maybe RAM. Zen 6 next year will bump the cores per CCD so the Ryzen 9 parts are 24 core instead of 16, and the X3D Zen 6 parts are rumored to all have V-Cache on both CCDs.
