I think games might have to start catching up with the core counts now!!
So we have gone from 4C/8T to probably 12C/24T being mainstream within three years. That is assuming AMD does not move to an 8 core CCX unit.

Three years is a bit optimistic for Intel to ship 12C/24T at anything below top tier
LOL. Another manufacturer breaking the embargo.

But alas, they don't. Because they don't really overclock, and it's not a great enthusiast platform. That's the reality. Heck, 10 cores at 4.8 here and no thermal issues. Ryzen is a viable alternative for gamers, it's not the second coming of Christ.
It happens. Normally also when someone whether it's in the community or not finds a workaround to enable other SKU, too. They want you to know their boards work before other vendors. I doubt it makes much difference, really.

Depends what the console market does given games are predominantly driven by them with a few exceptions. Plenty of people on this forum are going to end up with cpus well beyond what's actually required until next gen.

Bloody hell, ol Rich Leadbetter from Mean Machines is looks quite a bit older these days, he used to be known for his hair quiff. The early 90's seems so long ago
wow some of them scenes the intel is faster at 1440p than the ryzen at 1080p
And in others there's really nothing in it, a lot of games don't really make that good of a use of multicore.
Soldato
Hit and miss with AMD, as I've said all along. That gap will only increase with faster GPU's.
Soldato
Intel ahead there quite a bit if you want to keep a higher frame rate and have a high refresh monitor, in fact if it's like that next year I'll probably go with Ice Lake instead of Zen 2.
Or narrow substantially with ryzen 2 next year.
Soldato
By that time the ryzen guys would have gone through 3 cpus just to try and match the gaming performance of a 7700k/8700k.
Value for money goes out of the window.
Matter of opinion, different reviews show different things when it comes to CPUs. Also depends on their testing and what games are used. Personally I'd say the 2700x is on par with at least a 7700k.

Careful now, you're saying that AMD are on a par with INTEL....that's heresy don't you know GAVINtel won't stand for that!!! No.....nosireeeee. None of that talk allowed
Soldato
In some instances, yes. But there are many others where it is still behind. The gap IS closing. But changing a CPU 3 times is not what I'd call value for money especially just to get on par with intels gaming performance.
@subbytna every man and his dog know that AMD are behind intel in gaming. Its just fact. Even at 1440p in some titles.

Wow,you must not be able to run any games with that setup - SB?! Unless you have CFL at 5GHZ you might as well only run Tux Racer!Careful now, you're saying that AMD are on a par with INTEL....that's heresy don't you know GAVINtel won't stand for that!!! No.....nosireeeee. None of that talk allowed

Here I am thinking we are all enthusiasts. 80% of this forum are cheap arses lol.
At the end of the day intel has always been the king in in raw speed, appart from the amd64 days... so you amd fanboys, stop getting worked up about it and just accept it.
Im not on anyones side, I just buy the best cpu at the time of ordering regardless if its amd or intel.... I remember a few years ago amd saying there not going compete with intel and their cpu's were always going to be value for money?

So you're buying a Core i9-7980XE if it wasn't mesh?
