> plus enthusiast gamers waiting for the 3d stacked cache chips coming next year) They're already here - the 5800X3D or whatever it's called - and there's a significant performance jump in a bunch of games. It is being released for the same cost as the non-stacked version of the chip, which has since come down in price. There are some downsides, like not being overclockable, so for workloads that don't benefit from the extra cache (which are many), it's not advantageous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBFNoKUHjcg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBFNoKUHjcg Edit: I apologize for not being more specific in a casual internet forum discussion, so as to make clear that I was simply pointing out that there are also some 3d cache chips already in the market. I mistakenly thought this was intuitively obvious to casual observers. Praise be that neogodless was available to prevent HN readers from being led astray. In the future, I will be more careful and exacting in my wording. I have been appropriately chided, and will not transgress again. Thank you for correcting me, good sir.
