Im just baffled that i don't read similar posts from similar people in the zen 4 thread. The same people never asked someone that wanted to upgrade from zen 3 to zen 4 "what for since the amount of cores is the same". Kinda...surprising. Or is it?
I'm only considering it cos its a drop in, no other reason really lol. I mean it would be nice to get a better boost clock as well as it looks like it might do 5.4 on a few cores. Be interesting to see how overclockable it will be too.

Kinda defeats the point of the whole generation then if there is little to be gained from previous gen.
I would have thought the cache increase would have made the biggest difference like we have seen with the 58003dx cpu.
Im just wondering how is getting extra cores / cache / frequency not worth it as an upgrade when zen 3 to zen 4 is. At least for that specific user that said it
Mainly 1440p ultrawide tbh so i would say im more gpu bound than cpu? Hard with 1440p as its in kinda in the middle but more cpu side i think?
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with the actual jump between 12th and 13th gen. Being ironic about the 13th gen offering extra cores (besides the cache and clocks) seemed funny to me, considering weve been on the same amount of cores for the last i don't even know how many years on amdhe wants to play games and you just posted this

I think ive never said this in the past - since I kept upgrading my CPU every gen - but it's come to a point where it's actually pointless nowadays. The gaming performance on the latest CPUs (alderlake / zen 3d / zen 4) is already overkill - and since the only card that will give an actual boost over ampere is only the 4090 (not a lot of people will buy this), CPU gaming benchmarks are kinda whatever now. Even zen 3 with nicely tuned ram can keep a 3090 fed in most games, The games where you actually need the fps (competitive shooters and all that) are already running insanely fast. AFAIK warzone is the heaviest competitive fps and even my crap 11600k could do 130 fps minimum in that one - with averages at like 180+
Im at a point right now where im putting the 13900 in the basket and then remove it and then put it back. It's the first gen that I realised I don't really need the performance, my 3090 is a MAJOR bottleneck already
Do I need to repeat my self? I said I found it funny him being ironic about the increased core count on 13th gen
I mean in theory it shouldn't be that painful of an upgrade if you're already on the platform anyway. I'm sure i could probably sell the 12700k for 350-400 on the used market.

Patience, don't buy anything until both sides have revealed their hand.
