“From a gaming perspective, do we really need octo-core processors with insanely high clocks?” Eurogamer believes so, and not only for more obvious reasons such as overhead and running games on high-refresh displays: next-gen consoles are expected to get huge CPU upgrades, which will reset the baseline.
Most console ports can easily run at higher than 60fps on PC, even factoring in the oppressive overhead introduced by Windows, but with next-gen likely to feature Ryzen and possibly two quad-core modules for eight cores in total, games will inevitably become much more complex and the PC versions will see system requirements rise significantly for the top-end experience.
