I just upgraded from a similar system.
Old one:
Xubuntu 18.04
AMD A8-7600 8GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX-1060 6GB
New one:
Xubuntu 20.04
AMD Ryzen 5600X, 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200
NVIDIA GTX-1060 6GB
Gave me an enourmous performance boost in darktable. When I edit a photo the calculation times are almost not noticeable.
There was a thread about darktable perfomance a while ago with a standardized RAW with XMP:

The last test with an older system was:
AMD® A8-7600 radeon r7, 4GB RAM
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
- CPU: 87,830 secs (320,479 CPU)
- OpenCL: 9,301 secs (14,804 CPU)
Today I tried the test again with the new Ryzen 5 system:
- CPU: 6,174 secs (69,196 CPU)
- OpenCL: 3,835 secs (7,842 CPU)
