aits jover!

fucking ai guzzling up all our options!

consumers owning lesser hardware, keeping older hardware for longer


It was revealed in a recent leak that the next-gen AMD Zen 6 Ryzen CPUs would be delayed until 2027, and it has now emerged, that the upcoming Intel "Nova Lake-S" Core Ultra Series 4 CPUs may be joining AMD for an early 2027 launch, when previous reports placed the launch in late 2026.

 
If you don't have pc and absolutely need it, it sucks a bit. But like if you have 6 core amd equivalent, really who gives a shit if you have to keep using your pc year or two more.
 
its not like the games need it anyway.
Most PCMR are not going to upgrade as often now, just like the console gamers.
 
Kinda OK with this. Personally have a 9800X3D which should last some time, but hell even 5800X3D is still very very good.
 
I have a 9800X3D and a 7800X3D in my pc's, so i'm fine with this, but maybe i'll now upgrade the 7800X3D and get a 9850X3D since its gonna be a while until Zen 6 comes along.

If this is the only delay, it's just a few months though.

Get urself 9800x3d, bros, its by no means cheap(450$) but it will last u till end of next gen so easily 2036 if not even 2040 with all the delays, only time it works at/close to its 100% durning gaming here is when its comipilig shaders before new current gen game xD
U get access to cpu that will get u to stable 60 no matter what on all future ps6 games, and u get access to it years before console owners...

Example: DD2 known for being cpu-killer, consoles and midrange cpu's have hard time to even hold stable 60 in there - with 9800x3d(and highend or at least midrange gpu depending on the res and other graphical settings) its a smooth breeze:


Here some additional info on that particular game:


For comparision even ps5pr0 perf mode, which is huge improvement over other consoles(that barely go over 30 in perf modes), still can dip under 50 in rare super heavy on the cpu scenarios and regulary drops under 60 even durning standard city visits:
