And some of newest titles do load the CPU up, especially at high framerates
No PBO 2 for zen 2 chips. Only for zen3I noticed this post today about the new PBO 2 coming to the 5000 series.
Now I don't have a 5000 series chip with no plans to buy one but are they suggesting in this screen shot that it is safe to use scalar 10x?

I played with PBO for a bit back in March and saw about 5% gains. But left it off as the gains wasn't that significant but if they are saying a scalar of 10x is good to go I might just pop it back on.

I think someone in the YouTube said that to bring it to zen2 it will take a fair amount of work. Ie programming he AGESA. Not sure AMD will really focus on last gen product that much. It is also rumoured only 500 series board will have this and the 400 maybe. Like a maybe to the similar level as zen2 having this option.Yes. I know that.
Are you referencing the fact that HU intel based systems are using motherboard that aggressively overclocking CPU and have all the motherboard overclock features turned on while the AMD boards just have PBO switched on and otherwise CPU is on stock?I'm also starting to have issues with hardware unboxed too.. his reviews are humm very one sided sometimes too and very manufacturer based results recently too.
With the RT they have been fairly consistent. They call it unacceptable regardless Nvidia or AMD. In their Radeon reviews they consistently said if you are after RT then no doubt get Nvidia cos Radeon is just worse. 6800XT RT is on par with 3070 and 6800 RT is like 2080ti sort of things. Taking 50% perf hit on RT compared with traditional rasterisation is really crap. And only situation where you can get some kind of FPS that is playable is using DLSS.HU is all over the place for me
* they do CPU tests using overclocked Intel vs stock AMD
* they complained about RT performance when Nvidia did it but not a peep about AMD that's worse

lol it's nowhere near maxed out and that's with it powering a 3080 at 100% use and uncapped FPS, 1080p. He also did a follow up video saying he ****** up and 6 cores is fine.
A 5600x is roughly the same overall performance in multi-threaded apps as an 8 core Zen2 3700x, while providing significantly better single-threaded performance. Is an 8 core Zen2 3700x enough for the next 5 years or do you think someone who has one of those needs to upgrade in 2 years too?If you are happy to upgrade again in a year or two then a 6 core is fine but if you plan to keep the CPU for 5 years then I would highly recomend atleast 8 cores minimum and preferably 12.

It seems that way for the next 12 months.So if you only game and watch videos on the 2nd monitor there's no point going for the 5800x over the 5600x? For the next 12 months?

However I wouldn't make that assumption for the next 18 months to 2 years (or longer). At this time devs will be learning to push next-gen consoles and XBO/PS4 will no longer be a targeted platform for new games.
If you like to hang on to your build for 5-6 years then I would be wary of 6 core.
For just the next 12 months only, and then upgrading again next year, 6 core might be OK for purely gaming context.
Faster cores means very little if a game is optimised to use more than 6 cores, a 7700K has faster cores than a 3600 but still loses in games that can make use of the extra cores.A 5600x is roughly the same overall performance in multi-threaded apps as an 8 core Zen2 3700x, while providing significantly better single-threaded performance.

So just to be clear, you are saying that a game that CAN use 8 threads WILL be faster on a 3700x than a 5600x... is that right? Also then, a 2700x would be faster? You simply simply adopting the now disproven logic that "more cores = faster", even of those cores are slower?Faster cores means very little if a game is optimised to use more than 6 cores, a 7700K has faster cores than a 3600 but still loses in games that can make use of the extra cores.
