AMD's optimization guide for Zen (https://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2013/12/55723_SOG_...) suggests:

> The LS unit can track up to 22 outstanding in-flight cache misses.

So not as much as Apple, but more than Intel in this regards. I probably could test this, but I'm tired today, lol.

10 outstanding loads per core seems like a small number, especially compared to contemporary processors (Apple or AMD's). Maybe Intel knows something we don't.
