Are 16 cores in the new Ryzen 9950X sufficient for gaming? (www.pcgamer.com)

More than likely. Our issues seem to stem more from GPU power and memory at this point.

16 cores is the new four.

Unless the new chips have a massive gain in performance I would still be looking at the x3D vcache chips for gaming specifically.

I wasn't aware that there were any games that could make meaningful use of 16 cores, let alone games that might want more. Was there a major advancement in game programming when I wasn't looking? Or is the headline as far off base as I think?

@Dipole @stefenauris I mean maybe if you play Stationeers and got a large base haha, but that seems to be the only game I know that happily maxes out 32 threads or more if you push the physics simulation
