12 vs 16 is such a gamble right now though. I'd say BF1/BFV were the first games that needed more than 8 threads. If they're coming, I don't think we will see games that need a minimum of 8 good cores for at least 2 years after the console releases. Most games are still going to be cross-gen for a good while.

My 6700k does 100fps+ on bfv, bottlenecked by 1080ti, did you mean more than four threads instead? Cos BFV was definitely the game that convinced quite a few people that 6600Ks etc wasn't going to cut the mustard anymore.

5800X is an objectively bad buy.

100% agreed and if I'm on the same page with Paul you know it's bad.

Reminder that a 5700X will probably come out in another few months, once AMD has finished vacuuming up money from the :homebrew: over-hyped guys. If you don't need to get a CPU in the launch window, just wait for the better price/performance CPUs.

raring to post

based on the rate of growth in parallelism in games for the last 20 years, you will need an 8/16 CPU in roughly 2038.

My data might be a bit off because I went from a 2500k to 2600k, and I still had frequent dips below <70, sometimes to ~40 on specific parts of certain maps, then to a 3600. BFV just ran a lot worse than BF1 in general. This was all on low settings.

SIx months ago, when we thought Ryzen 4000 desktop APUs were about to happen I was stoked to rebuild my PC (which I mostly use for development, but it does also get used to play indie/older games on Steam).

In the interim, I pondered other possibilities, mostly revolving around a midrange Ryzen CPU with a low-power discrete GPU -- which at the moment would mean Nvidia, but could possibly include AMD once the RDNA2 cards are released.

But then we got my wife a new laptop, and settled on an Acer Nitro 5 (4600H, GTX 1650). We upgraded the RAM to 16G, put a 1TB SSD in the second M.2 slot, and t's been really great for her. I'm now thinking really hard about seeing what gaming-enabled laptops come out with the 5000 series mobile APUs, and using one of those as a desktop replacement.

I'm feeling the same way, my current ideal is if the top end 5000 apu has performance similar to a gtx970 and i can drop a graphics card or straight zen 3 in it later on if funds allow.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

The last apu had performance worse than a 1030. I think your sights might be too high.

Intel will still be on 14nm and the goatman himself will be their last remaining customer, as he is the only man able to fit the 130 core PlugLake chip in his rear end.

Yeah you mean like the giant um... shroud thing on the IO that wraps around?

One thing that was a total "thank god" moment was seeing that you don't have to attach the io plate anymore, it's just mounted in-box. Definitely one of those things where you wonder why it wasn't always like that.

I'm not sure igp performance has much room to grow until more memory bandwidth is available via DDR5. Unless they start putting cache on the package like Iris Pro.

I loved the feeling of slamming out the old I/O shield with the butt of a screwdriver handle after removing a mobo. Do it right and it doesn't bend or deform, just pops out into the interior of an empty case.

No the best was when you realize you forgot to bend back some random tab that some rear end in a top hat put on the shield for some reason and now you have a piece of metal blocking your Ethernet port and now you start debating whether it's worth taking put the whole thing, trying to bend/break/snip the tab from outside the case, or just using a spare NIC you have laying around

Or realizing the plate you have is for a different motherboard and doesn't fit at all.

I ended up with a couple machines whose "IO plate" ended up being judiciously-applied tape.

Sometimes they use the same IO shield for multiple versions of a motherboard. You leave the tabs in place if you don't have a particular port.

Nobody likes them, but they're for grounding purposes

I prefer the IO shields that have a foam layer and some kind of presumably conductive tape on.. They should all be made that way.

The advertised boost is only for single-core on both intel and AMD. My 3600 regularly hits 4200 briefly on a few of its cores in lightly threaded games, but only boosts to ~3900 under heavy all-core loads, just like yours.

Wonder of wonders, guess what AMD owns a patent specifically allowing for in their multi-chip design?

I can't be too mad. It was finally this year that a Ryzen igp came out that had better performance than then MX150. And then Nvidia immediately turned around and came out with the MX250, but it's a start!

That’s all VRM cooling for MAXIMUM OVERCLOCKING. A more “normal” x570 board is just going to have some generic looking passive heat sinks there and still have a traditional IO shield.

The main PCIE 16x slots all do have weird “armor” now though.

Mine ended up doing about 4.1 all core on air, then swapping to water put that up to 4.3 and about 4.575 single core.
