    What do you think about games needing more CPU cores and threads nowadays?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2021 06:01 AM PST

    Intel made 4c/8t the norm for many years, thus restricting every studio to make their games around that so that it runs well on most hardware, so were they right to do so? Sure, they hardly brought any innovation for many years until AMD came with their ryzen CPUs. But now, since people have access to PC CPUs with more cores, game studios have become lenient in terms of developing their games around a set of few cores. Right now, games like cyberpunk need more than 8 threads to run well and that'll apply for many games in the future. So, even if an old CPU itself wasn't bad, it'd still get bottlenecked because of it not having enough cores or threads in games.

    Now I'm not an intel or amd fanboy. I'm just thinking now since AMD is competing intel and might even bring more cores and threads to their budget CPUs in the very near future(like 1-2 years), would it create a more shorter cycle of consumerism than it already was. Like, for example, a Haswell i7 OCed like hell still can decently handle an rtx 3080, even when compared to the latest i7 in many games. But if a trend starts that intel and amd start introducing CPUs with more cores and threads every 3 years or so. That would be a nightmare for consumers who want to keep their cpu for 6-7 years.

    I know that isn't likely but I think it's still something to consider as AMD is being heavily competitive against intel and intel just keeps lowering their cpu prices to compete against amd. Right now, these practices are a big win for the consumer, but I feel like if Intel or amd start to focus on core and thread counts to one up the competition instead of better silicon and better OCing, I do feel like it won't end well for the consumer.
