For people who suggest web browsing does not benefit from more cores I don't know what to say. Please open resource monitor and look at what all your cores do when you do anything in a browser. My i5 gets usage on all it's cores nearly evenly divided. More cores will absolutely make web smoother all of the time.

I mean browsers do tile based rendering now sow it performs and scales exactly like those blender demos AMD does (more cores = more tiles processed at once)
Like facebook can do 50% load on all cores if you as much as scroll it...

Firefox tends to peg one core in my experience, based on my usage..

edit: It also depends entirely on your browser usage and how parallelisable each browser can make it.

Not sure if this has been posted before but wccftech posted a leaked lineup for TR:



This triggers me because it makes sense until the 1950/X which should be the 1960/X

It'd then follow the 19x0 where x is the 2nd digit of the core count. I mean it could be far better but at least it'd make sense.

Right now it's so close but then goes full AMD :allears:

Edit: missed the 1930X loving everything up.

I’m on a Z170 but my Asrock’s E2400 Killer NIC can push 106MB/sec to my server. Given that it’s connected using salvaged-from-construction-site cat 5E patch cable I self-crimped and a crappy Adata 5 Port Gigabit Switch. I’m going to say it’s ok enough as long as you don’t touch the poxy software.

In fact if I recall correctly, I went and manually extracted the INF, etc. out of the driver zip file and installed via add new hardware > have disk... because I didn’t want any of the software near my PC.
