With dx12 and most likely way better optimized games what are your thots on difference betwen i5, i7, i7 2011v3, xeon and 6/8 core fx cpu will we finaly see more cores being used to its fullest potential? Will intel ht from i7 finaly be a thing in games? Will 6/8 weak cores fx have end up being better than locked i5's?

On Pcper youtube channel the Ashes of the singularity games, Only the gpu make a significant improvement. But for example an fx 6300 with a gtx 980 and the i3 with the gtx 980, the i7 was pulling much ahead of the fx cpu. So there maybe there just a small improvement in cpu but a big improvement in gpu's.
 


well, yeah, possibly, that is not far fetch. but as you mentioned, probably too small to notice or be a basis of choosing between cpu's.

True. You be better off changing the gpu instead changing the cpu just for directx12.
