Is there actually many games around currently/in the next couple of years that will be taking advantage of 8c/16 threads?
I want to see more on the 6c/12t series and what they can produce price/power wise.

I doubt it. Some games/engines may use the extra cores, but even them will work equally fine with a 4 core CPU if it's fast enough.

I also want to see what the 6 and 4 cores variants will do, but the decision to make them slower than the 8 core processors is rather odd.

Yea didn't think so but if It came to it the price tags are still competitive enoguht on the 8c to throw into a gaming rig.

What are they doing exactly to make them slower? All I saw that the 1600X has the same 3.6 base 4.0 boost, but I really haven't followed much about them as when I'm not really in he market for new hardware I just don't follow the stuff until closer to the time I plan an upgrade.
