I have the CPU and memory combo in my sig with a 4090. Obv I'm CPU bound and I want to play MS FS2020 4K and new games faster. I need to upgrade MOBO/Memory/CPU asap. The games I currently play RDR2, GTA 5 are fine and the 5960X is holding up remarkably well at 4K. Concerned a 7800X3D with only 8 cores will soon be like the old 4 core (I have kept 5960X 8 years) and begin to struggle when next gen consoles arrive. I suppose what I want is a 5900X 3D with one 8core/16 thread 3D cache CCD and one 4 core/8 thread CCD. That would tick al the boxes and mildly 'future proof' against upcoming games that use more than 16 threads/cores.
