I might, its a capable 8 core CPU and if ity gets much cheaper than AMD's offering i will move to Intel.

I think so, if they are getting a 6800 series or a 3080 that advice might need to be revisited.

It's not about the number of cores, never has been. It's about total available performance. In an instance where performance is roughly equal between an 8 and 6 core part what then is the advice? So where a 3600x matches a 2700x multi but beats it in single core. What then is the better CPU when total available performance is roughly the same? Same goes for lets say a 10900k and the 5800x, roughly equal performance but the 10900k has 2 more cores.

The sooner people start talking available performance over the number of cores available the better off we will be. What we need is that same CPU bench but on roughly similar performing 6 and 8 cores so run it on a 5600x and a 3700x/3800x - Id be much more interested in those kinds of results.

3700x - 6800xt vs 3080 https://www.thefpsreview.com/2020/11/18/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt-and-radeon-rx-6800-review/3/

Sorry not really interested in 6800xt vs 3080. I haven't bought an NV GPU since Geforce3 ti500 if you ignore a gt1030 I bought at some point for a media pc then never used it. I was more interested in cpu scaling between similar performing cpu's of differing core counts but where overall performance is roughly the same.

fwiw I will probably buy the 6900xt in the new year and if they don't fix some of the workstation type performance issues ill be using it alongside my radeon 7.

Lol.

I am surprised it went on as long as it did. I know Humbug can get it wrong at times and go off the rails, but did not think he was this far gone to stoop to the level he did. Anyway. No biggie. We can get back on topic now hopefully :)
