I feel like I've been hearing about AMDs "next" CPU having dozens of cores on a bunch of chiplets for the last few generations, then the main gaming consumer parts end up with 6 or 8 or something.
The 7950 has 16 cores. I think what the article is suggesting is the very top of the line in the next gen could go potentially double, up to 32. I would imagine if that happened though that the more midline ones would still be in the 12-16 core range. I guess we'll see when they come out though.
Yea here's hoping. I'm skipping the 7000 series parts and sticking with my 5800x3d, I really want a higher core part that still has all the single ccd x3d advantages, since I game and do CPU heavy work on the same rig.
Same here. 5800x3d is great, and I'd rather not buy a new motherboard and things just yet.
Yes, no desire for all the things that will have to come with this upgrade. I want a huge boost, so sitting out this first wave.
900 series have 16 cores going back to 1950
Most games can’t take advantage of more than a couple cores anyway, and the high-core-count CPUS often sacrifice a little clock speed.
The optimal gaming CPU is like 4-8 cores but with a high clock speed. The 32+ core machines are for compute heavy tasks like CAD or running simulations. Sometimes compilers.
