Lab501 has broken the embargo and leaked some new gaming benchmarks for Intel’s upcoming CPUs, the Intel Core i7 8700K and the Intel Core i7 8600K. Lab501 has tested six games and according to their findings, there is not that big of a performance difference between the 7700K and the 8700K (despite the fact that the 8700K is slightly faster in most cases).
As an iconic handheld device, the Game Boy Color was packed with fantastic platformer games that covered numerous sub-genres while providing a genuine experience.
From the Supervision to the Steam Deck, the vast history of handheld console gaming is always worth celebrating.
A modded PSP is awesome, I used to play games like the original Marvel vs Capcom and even the original Doom on it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
The 8600k is an i5 dawg...
Yeah you wont be seeing a difference in terms of gaming with these. Maybe like a 2%-3% increase in frames compared to the 7700k.
Games do not use all those threads. The benefits you are going to seeing with 6c/12t is when you plan to encode and game at the same time on the same pc. Even then you won't see the full benefit of those threads. To get the most out of your 12 threads you going to have be doing something more optimized such as CC or Virtualization. But even CC sees diminishing returns after so many threads as the software isn't optimized for anything more than like 8 threads (at least going from my experience).
Really its a toss up on what software providers plan to do. Whether to release updates to support heavier threaded work, or do complete rewrites. Now that both Intel and AMD offer mainstream processors with >4 threads software providers are going to have to advantage of it. Which is a good thing. Divide the work over more cores/threads, means no need to overwork each core(lower frequencies) to meet the same performance, better overall efficiency (lower TDP) due to lower clocks. You can thank AMD for Intel to finally change things up and offer us more cores instead of brute forcing better performance with higher and higher clocks like they have been doing since 2011.
AMD is really ahead of the game in the tech department as they are the only one using MCM designed processors atm (Ryzen and soon to be Navi) with Nvidia (Volta) and Intel(Cannon/Ice Lake?) still trailing behind. MCM > Monolithic for better yields, efficiency, and better pricing for the end consumer.
