+_**User (2025-12-11 21:39Z)**_
+
+How about a threadripper 1950X?
+
+---
+
+_**Agent (model default, mode Agent)**_
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+The Threadripper 1950X will likely be slower than the i9-13900KF, despite having more threads.
+
+**Threadripper 1950X:**
+- 16 physical cores, 32 threads
+- First-gen Threadripper (Zen, 2017)
+- The script would use 32 worker processes
+- Older architecture, lower IPC
+
+**i9-13900KF:**
+- 8 P-cores + 8 E-cores = 16 physical cores, 24 threads
+- Raptor Lake (2022)
+- The script would use 24 worker processes
+- Much higher single-threaded performance
+
+**Why the i9-13900KF will likely be faster:**
+1. Per-core performance: The i9’s P-cores are significantly faster (roughly 50–70% higher IPC).
+2. Core efficiency: 24 faster workers can outperform 32 slower ones for this workload.
+3. Memory: The i9’s newer memory controller can help.
+4. Architecture: 5+ years of improvements in efficiency and performance.
+
+**Expected performance:**
+- The i9-13900KF should be roughly 20–40% faster, depending on I/O and the specific compression work.
+
+**Bottom line:** The 1950X’s extra threads don’t make up for the i9’s much faster cores. The 3970X’s large core count can overcome the per-core gap; the 1950X cannot.

+Sometimes, PNGs corrupt; we'll get bad results where everything is black, the image cuts off too early, or the file is just 0kb (placeholder). Can we have it report bad PNGs?

+Updated the script to detect and report corrupted PNGs. It now:
+
+1. **Detects 0-byte files** — flags empty/placeholder files
+2. **Validates image loading** — checks if the PNG can be opened and loaded
+3. **Checks dimensions** — flags files with 0x0 or invalid dimensions
+4. **Detects suspicious all-black images** — flags images that are all black with suspiciously small file sizes (potential corruption)
+5. **Tracks corrupted files separately** — counts them separately from regular failures
+6. **Reports in real-time** — shows `[CORRUPTED]` messages as they're found
+7. **Summary report** — includes corrupted file count in the final summary
+8. **Detailed list** — prints a list of all corrupted files with reasons at the end
+
+The script will now:
+- Show corrupted files in the progress output: `Corrupted: X`
+- Print `[CORRUPTED]` messages when found
+- List all corrupted files with their specific error reasons at the end
+
+This should catch the issues you mentioned: black images, cut-off images, and 0-byte placeholder files.

+Updated the script to automatically move corrupted PNG files to a `corrupted` folder. It will:
+
+1. **Create a `corrupted` folder** at the root level
+2. **Move corrupted files** there when detected, preserving the directory structure (e.g., `input\Pack2BagScan_animation 6c\file.png` → `corrupted\Pack2BagScan_animation 6c\file.png`)
+3. **Report the move** in real-time, showing where each file was moved
+4. **Show move status** in the final summary
+
+The script will now:
+- Display `[CORRUPTED] file.png: error -> Moved to corrupted folder` when moving files
+- List all moved files in the summary with their new locations
+- Keep corrupted files isolated from your input folder
+
+Also updated `.gitignore` to ignore the `corrupted` folder. When you run the script, corrupted files will be automatically moved out of the input folder and into the corrupted folder, making it easy to identify and handle them separately.

+
+
+The **7800X3D should win** for this script.
+
+**7800X3D:**
+- 8 cores, 16 threads → script uses 16 worker processes
+- Zen 4 (2023)
+- Strong single-threaded performance
+- Higher IPC
+
+**Threadripper 1950X:**
+- 16 cores, 32 threads → script uses 32 worker processes
+- Zen 1 (2017)
+- Lower single-threaded performance
+- Lower IPC
+
+**Why the 7800X3D wins:**
+1. Per-core performance: Each worker finishes faster, so 16 fast workers can outperform 32 slower ones.
+2. Architecture gap: Zen 4 vs Zen 1 is a large IPC improvement.
+3. PNG compression: PIL operations benefit from faster cores; the 7800X3D’s cores are roughly 2–3x faster per core.
+
+**Expected performance:**
+- The 7800X3D should be roughly 30–50% faster, depending on I/O.
+
+**Bottom line:** The 1950X’s extra threads don’t offset the 7800X3D’s much faster cores. The 7800X3D is the better choice for this workload.
