Can't wait to get one of this Ryzen 9 5900X, or even better one of the future i9 11900K, to pair with a "no where to be found and veery expensive" RTX 3080 and hook up that amazing system to play at with a 1080p monitor........ really?
I think that we got to a point in time on which, to my regret, the CPU for gaming it actually doesnt matter much anymore. I mean right now we have at least 6 or maybe 8 decent CPUs (perhaps more) on several price tags, that can fit everyones budget and needs. CPUs that unless a very narrow and small niche (esport gaming at 720p or 1080p @ 240HZ or higher) are more than enough to run any GPU and give enough performance so that the system is well balanced.
Competition is good, and its nice to see intel striking back the best they can with its 14nm++++++ "terminator" node, but until we can get ourselfs some very powerfull GPUs at a decent price theres no much reason for more powerfull CPUs. We need decent and cheap GPUs first!!!
