I generally have workflows that heavily utilize docker, i.e. use at least 2GB, docker compose on my MBP can take up to 6-8 minutes.

For me it's still unclear how much of a real advantage IPC provides for common tasks or non-parallel process a developer might be running.

Higher single thread performance is higher single thread performance, no matter if achieved via higher clock, doing more per clock ("IPC"), or both.

If you run one non-parallel task, the 7700K will be faster. If you run many non-parallel tasks in… parallel (make -j16), the 1700 will be seriously faster.
