I doubt the 16 cores for Zen4 will be a problem. If you need more than that, you're not an ordinary user and you may do better getting a Threadripper system.

The 30 series refresh is interesting. We'll see how much performance can they squeeze from Samsung and those chips. If they're made by Samsung, of course.

As for RDNA3... I think sticking with a 192/256-bit bus is a mistake. It's clear that the cache helps a lot, it's easy to see it at 1080p, but if we move to higher resolutions we can see that the performance advantage drops fast, all it's because memory bus can't fed the cache fast enough. That's why all the advantage Navi cards have at 1080p disappear at 1440p, and then they lose at 4K.

Increasing the cache size will help, of course, but they really need to beef up the memory bus at the same time to avoid bottlenecks.

Yea, especially as 4k 144hz monitors are finally coming down in price as you can get a pretty good one for $600... Once the stock issues go away that is... I think next year might be the year where 4k monitors will finally be affordable while having good quality screens and etc. And with the performance jumps coming from Nvidia and AMD GPUs... Maybe even the mid range can hop into the 4k bandwagon!

I doubt mid range cards will be able to handle 4K even with the performance gains we hope we'll get. After all, game demands will also start climbing once games designed for PS5/XsX start releasing.

But well, there's DLSS and FSR to help with that, right?
