@Gatygun:
This is a nuts hot take, unless PCs switch to AMD in mass the majority of PCs built will be quad core for the next few years so you wouldn’t get much out of an 8 core 16 thread part anyway. Intel isn’t even on 7nm yet to even make mass adoption of octacore feasible for most of the world.

Intel's 14 nm is like TSMC's 10 nm.
Intel's 10 nm CPUs are also year 2019 release.
Try again.
How is this at all relevant that Intel doesn’t have 7nm???? No one is arguing transistor density but that space, heat, and power are still concerns and it’s not going to magically make room for 8 cores on most main steam PCs. At the absolute most optimistic projection it may replace the quad core processors with a 6 core in low-mid tier PCs. It’s literally completely irrelevant to the point that mainstream octacore will not be a thing unless most manufacturers switch to AMD.
