    I disagree on the CPU front, halving my CPU cores from AMD 5000 to 9000 series resulted in only gains or equivalence

      Can you specify which CPUs you are talking about? Also we are not talking about cores. “Halving cores” means basically nothing when you compare across different architectures.

        Yes that’s the point, same for GPUs. Don’t need as many compute units if the architecture is better

        5950x to 9800x3d for example. Cost me about half the price, half the cores, much faster architecture. Equivalent or faster in pretty much every workload.

        Apply the same back to GPUs, over a few generations there has not been any appreciable upgrade option at reduced cost with equivalent performance or better to the 6900XT

          No. The point is the performance. You cannot compare the number of cores or frequency or else across architectures. That is pointless. That is not what i have said at all.

            Lmao you’re just out here to argue, the point is there’s nothing cheaper, better than the 6900XT worth upgrading to
