Very few PC games perform worse with more cores, mostly recent console ports.
Additional cores allow other programs to run on them, so your game doesn't get paused/swapped out while some windows housekeeping thing needs a few cycles.
The more modern games I'm playing love having 12 cores; Doom, for one.
Yes, the new one, lol.
Go try Arcade mode, then turn off half the cores, and see how that works out.
We are now living 1984; thanks to all the elitist assholes at IEEE I told about this two decades ago.
They sold us for pocket change; Facebook is only the public face of it.
When Trump declares martial law, you'll know why they sold all that ammo during Obama's term.
"He's gonna take our Guns!!" No, Putins going to get you to fight his war.
No Russian troops need to be involved; it's not like Trump's minions are going to be discerning on who they shoot; every kill is an American, just like the civil war; Russia wins whoever loses.
I'm from the Southern US, and was Amazed as a child that the women could, as a group, keep at leads 3 or 4 different conversations going, in this moving flow.
The men all congregated outside; our brains don't work that way.:)

This is true, but the overall memory bandwidth to the actual processor hasn't increased a lot over the years.
The system I'm using is about 55GBps, same as the x5670 I'm using on another system.
I haven't seen DDR4 systems running faster than that, but I don't own any yet.
Adding memory channels does help, but at some point, the internal processor architecture runs out of bandwidth.
"What's you do today?"
"I spent the day at my Xbone's house." :D
Put down the koolaid. :)
An even benchmark would have used stock timings on both boards, not XMP on intel, and no optimization on AMD.
That's an obvious Fail on their part; to me, that means this is the only way they can compete now.
And these chips still have ALL the flaws, and require software mitigations that drop performance 20-40%.
When they fix those, and stop being lying douchebags, I may buy intel again.
I'm still using a 17-3930k at 4.8GHz; it's been running that on ALL cores since about 2011 or so.
A chip that's only 10 or 20% faster really doesn't impress me enough to upgrade; it still plays Quake2 just fine, and Crysis works great. :)
They save Torture for people they Really don't like.
Fuck.
This is the future.
Criminals can be made, and busted by the same service.
It seems like the perfect use.
Everything else is a Lie. :)
Like they Could tell you.

Annn Rand was a stupid insipid cunt who had serious problems; if you're basing your ethos on her, you are a truly lost soul.
Maybe Religion will help; call a Priest, as least hell give you a reacharound, unlike Teh Donald.
I gotta love partying rapist fratboys.
If you have to put liquor in your Anus to get drunk, you do not need to be on the supreme court.
They Were Vulcan Children.
Won't anyone think of the Vulcan Children?
That was just Too easy, lol.

Aliens who want to enslave all humans by burrowing into their brain Could explain the GOP...

They don't need Oxygen to burn, and work really well as rocket fuel, mixed with aluminum and epoxy.
Which almost everything we send up there is made of...
That's the excess O2, left over after the other ones are used up.
That's a technical way to say this will liberate oxygen.
The only way something like this works is if there's a good source of Treatable water.
If you have to run it thru a desalination plant, that likely includes perchlorates, it's going to be even that much harder.
A rocky mountain stream might be easily usable; ice dissolved into rock formations, or even covered with mars soil, is another problem.
It's true that vacuum stills would work pretty well, so it's not impossible, just Almost impossible. :)
Glucose has Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen.
For every 6 CO2 molecules and Water molecules you put in, you get 1x glucose molecule, and 1x O2 molecule.
That's at 100% efficiency.
Water and CO2 are the two lowest energy states for those atoms, so it takes a lot of energy too.
With unlimited solar, anything's possible, but it will be interesting to watch.
The question is, where does it go? :O
They only talk lies.
Like, "Truth isn't Truth", or something.
You can't sue someone just because they made you look like a tool.
Especially if they're right. :)
We still wear Q2 and Q3 skins we made; we just play on real computers now, like the Raspberry PI. :)
Once you play old shooters on a non-laggy platform, you'll know why we hated Win7, lol.
The spread of the tech to make alcohol in various forms predates christianity, and roughly follows the spread of civilization.
Alcohol has obviously never caused problems before; somewhat like Opium, Cocaine, Maruhuana, or Barbituates.
If it's all new, everyday, we learn nothing as a society.
This really fits with the Manifort/Cohen news, but it's on point, nonetheless.
I wonder why the new /. owners haven't allowed a story on that? :)
