    Not sure what games you're playing, but the stuff im running (incl os/wifi/dedicated soundcard) produces between 30-50% cpu load spread over all 8 "cores" on my 3770.

    I know that hardware i have. Did you see i wrote "8"?! Which for win 7/8/10 it shows as a 8 core cpu.
    Never stated i had a cpu with 8 physical cores...

    Well I guess that just dashed a lot of peoples dreams of having a mainstream 6 core

    Not surprised its laptops only, why would they undercut their HEDT platform with this

    depend mostly on how powerfull per core zen will be...

    better get a 4 core with more power per core than 8 weak one...
    AMD have done a moutain of hype in the past that born a mice. (remember the 1st real 8 core that should kill any i7 and that in fact have dificult to fight with i5)

    let's see when it will be in shop.

    Intel did the same with Socket 478 Pentium 4, which was actually slower than the Pentium 3. They also said when they added 64-bit to the Pentium 4 Socket 775, however didn't redesign the chip much, meaning 64-bit applications ran slower. That held back the uptake of 64-bit.

    The difference between Intel and AMD is Intel can have a bad run like they are having now, but because the start point was already pretty good people are ignorant of it.
