That's why it starts to become a bit pointless when you have 12 cores and 24 threads, because the reality is that the big tasks (especially in gaming) will still be limited to single cores and adding more cores won't make a difference.Д¬PU's like the threadripper are designed for doing many many many small jobs that can very easily be split into multiple parallel tasks.

There is no on/off switch, it has to be done throughout the code and so there will always be places in the code where multi core use simply does not happen, because some tasks just cannot be split into multiple threads,В others are too big or complex to split and in some cases it may just not be worth the effort to make the code that way. It takes extra effort to make your code use more cores and a lot of new games these days actually have started to take advantage of that.Д«ut the problem is, it's not a simple thing to implement.

It's not that simple, back in the days games just didn't do a lot of multithreading so you would see high CPU usage on a limited number of cores. At least not with the technology we use today. This is the only logical way of improving games today as the CPUs have already reached theirВ max frequency. The code will hopefully be scaleable so itВ can utilize 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 cores. How do you know? If MS comes out with a new game in 2020 and not utilize all cores available, they haven't made a good game.

I kind of already made this point, but cross platform titles are already maximised for amd hardware in the current consoles and generally intel/nvidia combinations in PC still perform better (they are just more expensive ВЈ4ВЈ) Microsoft Flight Simulator will be DirectX 11 at launch, but it could be upgraded at some point during its lifetime. There are games that favour one vendor more than the other (much more than the margin of error), and AMD GPUs seem to be performing better with DirectX 12 while NVIDIA GPUs prefer DirectX 11.

NVIDIA drivers have worked better than ATi/AMD drivers for a long time, but more recently they've been getting worse, so I'd say they're about on the same level now. And then AMD would still be the better choice due to value and energy efficiency.

Since they are optimising the simulator for the Xbox One and its upgrades that have lots of cores and threads, I have the feeling it will either favour the Ryzen series, or move so much work on the GPU that the CPU will be a non-factor in most cases.
