Advances are coming by leaps and bounds now. This will be good news for people involved in video editing and tasks that stress processing power. I don't know if this will help people involved in gaming as most games only utilize one core. I'm wondering what AMD's Threadripper single core performance will be like as Intel will undoubtedly counter their CPU's are better in this area.

Are there games out there that can use more than one core ?


GT 182 built a computer using an AMD 6 core CPU and motherboard and says it's great. I'm sure an AMD 16 will be even better. I use a quad core AMD and it's TDP ( thermal design power ) is 15 as opposed to a dual core Intel at 45nm and 95 TDP . On the other hand, Intel and AMD measure TDP differently, so.....


Thanks for the info Vienna.
