 The ryzen seems relaxing since it is only 50% of use in witcher three

Well, that's because the witcher doesn't know how to use 12 threads. it might be maxing out 4c/8t, and then the rest is unused.

there's still a very small GPU bottleneck with Ryzen in novigrad in the witcher, but at least the CPU isn't at 100% like the 7600K, so there's room to grow.

So more cores are useful after all, also threads. But is it only on multitasking?

for multitasking, since Ryzen has more cores/threads, it will not lose performance like intel's i5 lineup will.

Games can kinda take advantage of 6c/12t right now, but they're really mostly optimized for 4c/8t, something which the i5s don't have, hampering their performance.

In the future, games will use it much more, and some already do.

so for games, it's good, but not that much of an improvement yet

for multitasking, it allows the CPU to not take a gaming hit while doing something in the background.

Thinking of threadripper or ryzen 7 1700 when making a new system, wait will threadripper use X370 and still in AM4 socket?
