Zen 6 16c is the goal, and I do not think it is a safe bet that RAM will stay cheap until its release.

I remember reading a benchmark from a while back that said that for big data processing tasks like my bioinformatics consulting, you want each thread to have at least 3G of RAM available to it.

I also play EVE-O where I have ten accounts (4 capital pilots, six cyno/scout), and that even on potato mode with resource cache disabled, would fill 32GB on awesomeWM with discord open.

I am now re-considering if the prospect of being able to take on additional $100 gigs in a pay period is worth the $300 delta from a 9600x to a 9950x.

e:grammar

I did some further research on benchmarks for Dwarf Fortress and Football manager, and the delta was small enough that I decided to go all the way back down to 9600x and wait for the 6 core CCD zen 6.

Thanks very much, no way I would have noticed that on my own.

I travel for work often enough that the portability of a single 40something ultrawide versus multiple 20something 16:9 is an issue.

Yup
