i’m pleased with 7950x, it was just a surprise. when benchmarking the game engine, massive latency variance due to background jobs using all cores.

when i compile, all 16 cores are used.

when playing, core0 is main thread, core1 is physx, core2 is network, core3-7 are background jobs used by main thread.

i’m not sure more than 8 cpu cores can be meaningfully used by any current game engine tech.

when i run the server locally, i reduce usage to 4 cores so client and server don’t contend. not much impact.
