Μy argument is if 2 cpus have very similar performance in games that don't require lots of cores, then surely the one that has more cores will do better in games that do. The 5950x is a bad example regardless cause of the cross ccd latency, it's not a great CPU for games that require lots of cores cause of the IF penalty.But your argument is more cores = better. Surely with that theory, the 5950x which has 10 more cores over the 5600x3d should not be getting beaten so readily. Cache is more important than cores to most game engines. The longevity argument just doesn’t weigh up to me. I think the 7800x3d will probably end up outclassing the 13700k when it comes to gaming in the long run.
Im already seeing 80-90% utilization on my 12900k in some games, like TLOU.. Check the below, this is @LtMatt simulated 7800x 3d, tuned and all, and this is my stock 12900k. We get similar performance (actually the 12900k is faster) I assume because of the extra cores on the intel part. We both are seeing some pretty high cpu utilization, 80+%. The 5800x 3d falls way behind both for the same reasons
