AMD's high-end X3D-series processors still aren't a thing that most people need to spend extra money on—under all but a handful of circumstances, your GPU will be the limiting factor when you're running games

I wish reviewers wouldn't keep repeating this. There are tons of strategy, business sim, city-builder games that can easily bring even modern CPU to their knees.

Case in Point: The Final Earth 2, allows you to remove the 15K population limit. At around 20K population, my 5800X is clearly unable to handle the load. And 20K is honestly not that much considering the scope and functions of the game.

A good idea to splurge on cass 28 6000mhz for this?

Also doesn't gamemode uefi setting essentially turn off SMT, effectively making it 16Vcache enabled threads? Maybe I'm misunderstanding -.-

Chomping at the bit to upgrade meh 7950X.

I am probably going to upgrade when Zen 6 is released. I can manage for now.
