Amazing that we are calling $650 for an 8 Core CPU a "deal" these days....or shocked when you can find an RTX 5090 for "only" $2500. This hobby has gotten REAL expensive lately. Then again, so has everything...sigh.

Also, get off my lawn!

What amazes me is that Tom’s Hardware never has an issue with my posts, but other hardware sites have banned me just for saying things like the comment above about NVIDIA’s overpriced GPUs.


I mean, come on—I picked up an open-box 3090 Founders Edition with 24GB at Micro Center for only $699, with an extended warranty.


And yes… I’ll stay off his lawn. 😄

It's not 8 core. It's 16 core, and 32 hardware threads. And the SMT on these is pretty good, so as long as your memory bus isn't saturated and the temps don't go too high, you can have 32 threads chunking through work in parallel at pretty much full speed.

Of course, you can also get a 16 core / 32 thread chip (albeit 2 generations older) for around $250. But that is a lot less exciting these days.

I am predicting that Nvidia will suffer an Intel level humiliation when AMD surpasses them...and charges less money for more powerful hardware. Hubris will bite you in the butt every single time!
