Despite being behind on frequency, it seems they've totally caught up (and maybe surpassed, not enough info to know yet) Intel in IPC, and even the 3700X will have more than double the cache of the 9900K
So we'll have to see what the benchmarks look like but they might not be as far behind as the frequency gap would suggest.
- PaulBGD_ 7y agoThat's true, if more software starts taking advantage of multiple threads it'd probably be better than most of Intel's offerings.
- mort96 7y agoWhat software which requires a lot of processing power currently doesn't take advantage of multiple threads? Games are increasingly parallel, browsers do most non-JS things in parallel (and obviously run each tab in parallel), compiling code and video rendering eats CPU cores like crazy.
- gameswithgo 7y agoyeah a lot of people will assert that games don't benefit from more threads, but, if you fire up fortnite or battlegrounds and look at your cpu grapsh, you will see at least 8 of them working pretty hard
