Going to wait for a sale on Kingdom Come. The bugs and poor performance aren't worth me buying it at full price and dealing with the bugs/bad performance issues.

I've seen a performance review at Guru3D and it doesn't seem to be that bad, but you may be experiencing some troubles that they haven't. Here's the review: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/kingdom-come-deliverance-pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review,1.html

The news:

SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

Ubisoft has managed to increase PC sales by 11% in the last five years
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/ubisoft-has-managed-to-increase-pc-sales-by-11-in-the-last-five-years/
Ubisoft has revealed its Q3 report for 2017-18. According to the French company, the Tom Clancy communities are almost at 60 million unique players and Ghost Recon Wildlands was industry’s seventh best-seller in EMEA and tenth in NCSA in 2017.

An increase from 7% to 18% ain't an increase by 11%, it's an increase by 157% (if 100% stayed the same size).

What do you expect from todays journalists .

Those APUs only come with one CCX, so 4 cores is the max they can have right now. And I don't know if AMD will launch APUs with more cores this gen. If an user needs more than 4 cores/8 threads, then I doubt an APU is their right product.

Yeah I know. I just won't settle for anything less than 6-cores in 2018.
If I am building a rig today, I want it to last the distance.

It's easy to later drop in a new GPU. In-fact... I am still doing that every few years with the old Core 2 Quad rig that I have.

Wccftech has an article based on rumors about AMD's Zen future products and they mention one about the future 7nm part, with a core increase on the CCX "modules":

https://wccftech.com/amd-zeppelin-soc-isscc-detailed-7nm-epyc-64-cores-rumor/

Now on to some interesting bits straight from the rumor mill in China. There are reports about the AMD 7nm EPYC family. Codenamed “Rome”, the upcoming generation of EPYC processors could have up to 64 cores and 128 threads if rumors are to be believed. The rumor alleges that AMD’s 7 nm EPYC chip will actually be based on two different dies.

• Die1: Single CCX 6 core, each Die 12 core, single CPU maximum 48 core
  
• Die2: Single CCX 8 core, each Die 16 core, single CPU maximum 64 core

But that won't arrive until next year with Zen 2

Also:
I didn't have to download the 20GB patch (separately) when I installed it last night.
For me it was a 31.7GB download, not too bad.

That's good to know! I guess that means that the patch is for the physical or console (if there's such version, I don't know) editions.

Guys i need help and i don't know if this the right place. I want to buy a new Laptop for both work and gaming, to be more specific my pc gaming spectrum tends towards RTS nad Isometric RPG.
I was looking in amazon and i found this (the i7 and 16GB of RAM version).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XFC44CL/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A17MC6HOH9AVE6

Its good? or are there better options for the same price??

I'm not up to date with laptop parts, so take this with a pinch of salt.

The CPU seems a bit old, but it has a good amount of RAM and 512GB of NAND storage is quite a bit. The 1050 isn't too bad for a laptop either. I doubt you'll be able to play your games at max settings, but you should be able to run them just fine.
