Some do. But in those cases, you might be better served with Ryzen.
If you're playing games, you'll get better performance with this i9.
But if you're playing games, you're probably not CPU-bound anyway.
I'd be interested in what niches people here work in and what CPUs they look for because of their unique needs.
- leetcrew 8y agothe people who care the most about frames per second are playing esports titles that don't demand much from the GPU. counterstrike is still CPU bound in most cases.
- EugeneOZ 8y agoEsport is not about graphics quality at all. Try Assassins Creed - it will eat all of your CPU cores.
- kevindqc 8y agoWoW is ST CPU-bound :( until next patch!
- tracker1 8y agoIn all the truly multithreaded benchmarks the Ryzen and ThreadRipper chips really punch above their weight (price).
- hoorayimhelping 8y ago>But if you're playing games, you're probably not CPU-bound anyway. We used to say this, but I don't believe it anymore. A lot of games these days make heavy use of simulation and physics engines. Games like KSP that perform continuous physics calculations are absolutely CPU-bound.
- tomwilson 8y agoYou will also be cpu bound often when going for extremely high refresh rate 1080p. E.g. 240hz.
