A very unbiased, agenda-free article Gizmodo, good job!

gizmodo.comWho needs that many cores? probably the people buying threadripper or epyc.
I like how they also ask if they will be using zen2 for the next threadripper, they sure aren't going to be using their already released parts again.

What an awful ill-informed rant. No one said he had to, or anyone else for that matter to buy either the 3950x or the 3xxx TR series ...
And he said if TR3 is based on zen2 .. of course it will
Sadly its not an unbiased rant, its a sour grapes rant

I think capitalism brought us to this...it is like an addiction to techies with money. They feel like they have to have the latest and greatest. And if this implies they have to buy a CPU with more cores than the software they use can utilize they feel like they are throwing out money for nothing (which they do regardless in 90% of all cases). So yeah sour grapes rant is fairly accurate for this. They got used to Intels we give you the same like last year with 5-15% more performance on top. Because the gains in the software were predictable. 64 Cores 128 threads are beyond our imagination, yet!

64c is not beyond my imagination. What i can't imagine is what kind of renders would push that cpu to 30minute renders per frame .

It's great how most of the ppl just didnt get the sarcasm in the post's title. Lol

I did actually in a way miss it but still said it wasn't unbiased - intel bucks...

Alex Cranz is one of the worst 'tech'-writers in the business. Unfortunately I can't find the article anymore, but she once put up a graph of some processor benchmarks she did, without providing a legend on the x- and y-axes. I just can't with her.

I didn't even know gizmodo wrote about pc hardware , i thought they focused only on apple and smartphones.

They had to branch out after getting blacklisted by Apple for buying a stolen phone prototype and then bragging about it in an article. (Among other shitty things they've done over the years that show them to be juvenile, unprofessional hacks.)

You can never have too many cores.

well one thing is for sure, more cores definitely won't help with writing better articles.
What can you expect out of gawker media?
