AMD Details its 3D V-Cache Design at ISSCC

Since I already have a 16 core CPU...

You dont need 16c for gaming.
It's like saying 16c is low end for gaming since you have threadrippers with 32 cores.

Spring. Im guessing April-May.

Not bad. Wont have to wait for long

That games as well as 5800X in 99% of games due to most games not utilizing more than 8 threads mostly. It's a different story if you're streaming or doing something heavy on the background at the same time. But calling 5800X low-end is wrong. The same way that someone owning a 3995WX calling 5950X low-end would be wrong.

Low-end from AMD these days is 5300G 4c/8t APU.

Do I game? Did I say that I did? Why is an 8 core CPU better than a 16 core CPU outside of gaming? Why is it wrong to want a CPU with at least the same amount of cores as the one I already have? Will my video transcoding work be faster on an 8 core or a 16 core?

Cool tech, but very disappointed in the fact that it's only being used in a low-end gaming CPU.

What conclusion would you get from saying all these above?
8c CPU is low-end for gaming and you bring up you have 16c thus my answer that 8c is not low-end for gaming and you dont need 16c for playing games.

Lol, 16 cores, what a pleb.

Get an EPYC or a Threadripper PRO when that comes around, then

dude, nobody said you had to get one. it's a chip designed specifically to be the fastest in gaming applications. transcoding see's negligible gains. so for that task your 5950 already has all the cache it needs. and you can just disable half your cores and still have more cache than a standard 5800x anyway.

mainly for people like me looking to upgrade from 3800x and also so amd can keep the bragging rights of having the "fastest gaming processor" on the planet.
