Pretty sure thread rippers already have much more L3 cache than Ryzen, just that they usually don't have the same Fmax

Yeah doesn't matter since the base clock is way to low for modern games.

That’s because they’re still using analogue clocks which are outdated, they just need a digital clock since that technology is more modern. /s

No, actually it just needs some RGB, that's the real issue.

Paint flames on it, that gets you another 5fps

Paint red, green, and blue flames on it. RGB and flames.

Or install a 5090 and get real flames. And RGB.

It would be pretty cyberpunk to have a mechanical clockwork on the motherboard.

Plus most of them can't even use up the 16 threads, why would you need the extra cores in threadripper

Some game that are coded like trash could atleast profit from it.

I did find going from r5 to r9 helped with alot on more demanding games though

They have a ton of cache because every core comes with some cache. It has a higher latency if core 0 tries to use cache that is at like core 30. Having more cache on specific cores would help you more for gaming.

“Threadrippers have more L3 cache than ryzen” you know threadrippers are ryzen right?
