Hardware & Technical A $450 12 core 4.6Ghz CPU to match the Pimax 8K and next gen GPU's early next year...

[Strife]

This is a rumor - not fact

is it possible...
GF has reported the 12nm node gives >10% gain in performance over 16nm (which performs better than ryzens current 14nm), so that gets the base at around 4.2Ghz, but 4.6Ghz still seems a stretch
The 12nm node gives 15% reduction in density, squeezing in 50% more cores will mean a bigger die size.

A while ago AMD did state the ryzen was there worst point in this architecture, meaning it's 1st gen and subsequent generations will see IPC and clock improvements.

For clarity, I am not an AMD fan boy, I have a vested interest in both AMD and Intel and so far both have made me a happy chappy!
I do like to see AMD coming back though, healthy competition gives us more performance at lower prices, it is the best thing for us gamers

Not really a VR topic.

Not really a VR topic.

When the Pimax 8K lands on my door step next year, the next gen ryzen will be available and the 8 core 9th gen intel will at least be news. (expect intel to have 8 core desktop parts available within 6 months)
As I will likely upgrade my PC around that time and I suspect other Pimax 8K backers might be considering an upgrade or at least like to know what options will be available, I consider it relevant.

The technology becomes more and more impressive for the general public

No, but this is the Hardware and Technical forum, not the VR forum.

It is now, not when the comment was posted though.

Ah...I stand corrected then. My apologies.

I want my CPU thousand cores / two thousand threads

According to the AMD reddit the alleged leak was a deliberate fake troll, that suckered in a number of tech sites.

So dont build your hopes up people.

That's pretty amazing, OP. Gonna be a while before I look into it, though, as I just plugged a brand spanking new i7-7820x in my PC just last month and that thing frickin blazes. I can't imagine needing more horsepower; paired with a new 1080 ti it'll be years before I need to upgrade.
