    The 7950 has 16 cores. I think what the article is suggesting is the very top of the line in the next gen could go potentially double, up to 32. I would imagine if that happened though that the more midline ones would still be in the 12-16 core range. I guess we’ll see when they come out though.

      Yea here’s hoping. I’m skipping the 7000 series parts and sticking with my 5800x3d, I really want a higher core part that still has all the single ccd x3d advantages, since I game and do CPU heavy work on the same rig.

        Same here. 5800x3d is great, and I’d rather not buy a new motherboard and things just yet.

          Yes, no desire for all the things that will have to come with this upgrade. I want a huge boost, so sitting out this first wave.
