@Bofferbrauer2 Idk the PS5 and XSX APU's only has 8MB L3 cache (4MB per CCX) which will limit performance somewhat compared to Zen 2 on desktop. Take Zen+ 2600X though to 2700X have 16MB L3 (8MB per CCX). Zen 2 3600X-3800X have 32MB L3 with 16MB per CCX. Its probably somewhere in between for 3D gaming performance when factoring in architectural improvements and IPC. We have synthetics as well to by from consoles defunct chips, with the 4700S.

But even so I can't see 6 core being a limitation in any time soon. Saying that, idd.. buying new a octocore CPU is probably a good bet if you plan to keep your system for longer. I just don't think its necessary for gamers unless you're shooting for ultra high fps in modern games and playing competitively in esports titles. And/or doing some streaming.
