So how do we look that up?

When I built my system for RTTY skimming last fall I picked the AMD

I found two "AMD 2700x" processors listed here:

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
<https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+2700X&id=3238>
Passmark  16982
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 2700X
<https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+PRO+2700X&id=3292>
Passmark
17161

Which must mean they are about 70% faster than the Intel i7-7700 3.6 GHz
that I'm using.  How many bands are you skimming for RTTY?
