The age of highly threaded games has arrived

Yeah... higher core count CPU's are going to age better.
Intel need to figure out how to get 16+ cores on a Ring Bus because once again we are seeing that their Skylake-X "Mesh" architecture suffers in games more than AMD's Infinity Fabric.

Imagine spending that much on a cpu to game at 720p.

When testing for CPU bottlenecks its good practice.
 
Wow didn't realise it was so many at 1080p still. I played 4k since i got my 1080ti in 2017 on a tv, since my 21 month old took care of my TV screen a few months back i've been playing mainly on my 120hz 1440p 27" and actually enjoying gaming more, 60hz really sucked and a keyboard and mouse really is better than a ds4 controller. When i close on a house in a few months i'll get at least 100hz 4k TV though.
 
Good to see games finally scaling properly with high thread counts. It's taken forever but I'd certainly be looking at 12 core/24 threads minimum for my next upgrade.
 
Scaling from 8core to 12 core is less than 4core to 8core. So there is still plenty optimisation to be done

looks like the sweet spot in terms of good performance vs cost is the 8c16t CPUs.

Buy buy buy.

This is the age where the brand new 3300X will hold you back.

Which is why i laugh at people recommending it for gaming over a 3600, just because it runs games already out with similar performance, it's going to fall off rapidly with games adopting heavy thread use more and become a bottleneck much faster.

I got a feeling intel’s 8big 8small or whatever combination they have for their future line up might edge things out from the current ryzen arch.


Just a feeling about it. From pure theoretical point of view it should be more efficient and less power hungry thus better thermals and greater headroom. Therefore better sustained performance but all depends on implantation.
