lynux3 2,460 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Supposed to be announced at CES. It is a rumor though. Low end SKUs start at 6C/12T and mid-range 8C/16T. Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 3,030 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think the most usage I've seen from my cpu in any game was 15 percent . What are these needed for now? Link to post Share on other sites

If the 3600G is real (8C/16T w/ Navi 10/20CUs) it is a good indication what PS5 may be. I imagine it'll be similar, but with more CUs. Other than that the rest of this stuff is for PC. The guy speculating on the rumors basically looks into the claims and makes his best guess based on known/rumored information. He's been correct or close to correct several times. The biggest use case is for a variety of applications like virtualization, video encoding/decoding, games, streaming, etc. It's starting to blur the lines between what we consider now an HEDT and regular PC, but with the only different being available lanes unless that suddenly changes. It's exciting times in the CPU bidness because AMD is right on Intel's tail and they haven't been able to respond other than binning high-end desktop CPUs, adding additional cores to an already hot CPU and having better silicon in general. The 7nm process that AMD is going with for their next version of Ryzen is supposed to be equivalent or close to equivalent in silicon quality. Either way it's looking like Intel is in some trouble since Ryzen is catching on and Epyc is beginning to see its first real entrance into DCs with AWS. Ryzen is catching up and fast while Intel still can't get their 10nm process straightened out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
roflpwnedz 289 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I would have been fine with my phenom 1100T @ 4.0ghz tbh. But you know, e-peen. Link to post Share on other sites
