So, what's the point behind cores anyways?
Most games only use a couple cores at most, and there's the rare ones that use up to four, why does intel and amd keep pushing more and more of the 'MUH CORES' meme?
Is there even a single game in existence that uses more than four cores?
>inb4 they're not for gaming
Why are they advertised as such then?
>Is there even a single game in existence that uses more than four cores?
Multithreaded RSX option on RPCS3 emulator only works on 8 core or higher CPUs.
Wasn't this thing basically just a techdemo to show that using more cores is possible?
And was it good?
FFXIV will happily use as many cores you got since it's a MMO and those are CPU intensive.
More cores and multi threading is a good thing in general just because it allows for better multitasking. Usage of those cores and threads varies from program to program (or game to game in this case).
But that doesn't go against my point, it's not like you're going to run cpu intensive programs in the background while gaming anyways, right?
And anything that you will usually use in the background can easily run on a single or at most two cores, so using a modern 16 cores (or god forbid a 32 one) then that leaves you with 10 cores doing jack shit in the background?
user, my gf play ff14 on some budget laptop she bought three years ago running an amd apu, I don't see it (or any other mmo on the market right now) requiring more than a couple cores as well, those games are made to run on toasters after all
>Most games only use a couple cores at most, and there's the rare ones that use up to four,
It's not 2007 anymore nigga, most games use multiple cores since current gen consoles use multiple cores. Shit is pretty scalable nowadays.
Your gf clearly is a casual that does 4 man dungeons instead of 144man eureka or hunt trains. more people on screen fighting = more cpu usage
threadrippers and not advertised for gaming, retard
