That‘s not usually what people game on, though. Even today, 20 core CPUs are the exception for gaming rigs.
- throwawayapples 5y agoPoint taken, but it is for server-side games like Fortnite, because the bulk of the game world actually runs on the server. However, I'm not sure when they started shifting over to that model (or even if that's what he was talking about as the future).
- chii 5y ago16 core machines isn't that uncommon today, but i guess back in 2009, it was way less common. But i think the trend is clear - more cores is the future as clock speed has slowed down.
- suyjuris 5y ago> 16 core machines isn't that uncommon today ~0.31% according to the Steam hardware survey [1] If you are including 8-core machines with simultaneous multithreading (so 16 logical cores, 8 physical), then you would be at ~17%, however.
