The age of highly threaded games has arrived

Time to get out the memes, behold Kojima's Decima Engine.
Next up: Horizon Zero Dawn

So what happens if you use a Threadripper 3990?

Haven't seen anyone benchmark it with a Threadripper yet

A bottleneck that no one will ever see isn't really a bottleneck ..

90% of PC gamers play at 1080p, oosh.

I posted 3 benchmarks, one is 720p the other two is at 1080p Ultra settings

I agree, most games benefit from high clock speed and single thread performance. Still.

But we are seeing some games now where an AMD 12/16 core can beat Intel's best where as last year we didn't really see any.

It feels like the tide is changing,

They're certainly not the full fat 3700X desktop parts, that's for sure...either in terms of clock speeds or Cache amounts.

If I have to take a bet right now and stick with it, I would say the CPU in the consoles is not a 3700x, they are basically downclocked 4800H parts, but with a Navi 2 APU instead of Vega. Which means it has 12mb L3 cache

Next gen games gonna have more cpu physics, more fluid, weather simulation, NPC AI etc - definitely put more load on the CPU
