A 72-hour sample across different projects such as LHC@home, Rosetta@home, Yoyo@home, etc with power consumption #s would give me a pretty good idea of PPD and relative performance/efficiency versus adding more R7 1700 nodes. I'm planning on expanding my DC farm in the fall when I'm not as thermally limited (due to GPU farm not in sig + hot summer). Having a better idea of how Skylake-X compares to Ryzen for DC/crunching work would be nice. For new BOINC CPU hardware the R7 1700 is hard to beat for both efficiency and perf/$.
I use BOINC (mostly on my server). I was going to try and give you some numbers, but the 72 hour run (times multiple projects) in the middle of the summer will not be fun
I can easily supply you power consumption numbers on a much shorter run
