I don't do AI or anything with mine - I have a older 5900X 12 core. Only time I've ever seen more than like 4 cores engage is when it's compiling shaders for an Unreal engine game. I think my next CPU I'll probably drop to an 8 Core x3d type chip and save a bit of cash, and maybe get a few more Mhz out of it. But I'm probably not looking at an upgrade this coming generation either - still happy with how it runs.Now I'm thinking the sweet spot for me might be a 9950x3d dang...
I want the IPC boost that two gens will give. Even a 9900x will be a boost. But I'm not.going.to be ready to buy until Feb or end of March next year.I don't do AI or anything with mine - I have a older 5900X 12 core.
