Well that's quite linear... Anyway, I want to put together a machine and want to know the answer to a question I've seen before: 4 cores vs 6 cores vs 8 cores?
The last many times that has been asked it was answered "4" almost exclusively. That was because You had the choices between mainstream 4 core cpus that were very strong with what they did, or 4-8 cores that were weak at what they did, or even going upwards of Xeons.
I've also not received any word on 4 vs 8 or more for gaming. Gaming is at a critical point here for scaling with more cores and even going for multi-threading technology. It would be phenomenal if either could work now, but I'm relatively patient. So, the question is; is going for more than 4 cores 4 threads right now even worth it?
Ryzen seems to have a great value and the platform has great potential; hence why I am asking about 4 6 and 8 core cpus.
