    [SOLVED] How many cores for 2020 and beyond?

    Thank you for all the advice! I think I'm gonna wait until this summer when they reveal the Ryzen 4000 series... Once they do a price drop for the 3000 series I think I will get the 3600 :)

    [SOLVED] How many cores for 2020 and beyond?

    I am planning on keeping my next CPU for about as long as my 2600, yeah. Will the 3700x really be that obsolete within 3 years?
