AMD 16-core Ryzen a Multi-Chip Module of two "Summit Ridge" Dies
With core performance back to competitiveness, AMD is preparing to take on Intel in the HEDT "high-end desktop" segment with a new line of processors that are larger than its current socket AM4 "Summit Ridge," desktop processors, but smaller in core-count than its 32-core "Naples" enterprise processors. These could include 12-core and 16-core parts, and the picture is getting clearer with an exclusive report by Turkish tech publication DonanimHaber. The biggest revelation here that the 12-core and 16-core Ryzen processors will be multi-chip modules (MCMs) of two "Summit Ridge" dies. The 12-core variant will be carved out by disabling 1 core per CCX (3+3+3+3).
Another revelation is that the 12-core and 16-core Ryzen processors will be built in a new LGA package with pin-counts in excess of 4,000 pins. Since it's an MCM of two "Summit Ridge" dies, the memory bus width and PCIe lanes will be doubled. The chip will feature a quad-channel DDR4 memory interface, and will have a total of 58 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes (only one of the two dies will put out the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 A-Link chipset bus). The increase in core count isn't coming with a decrease in clock speeds. The 12-core variant will hence likely have its TDP rated at 140W, and the 16-core variant at 180W. AMD is expected to unveil these chips at the 2017 Computex expo in Taipei, this June, with product launches following shortly after.

Anyway, what I am saying is a fact, everyone agree that having 4x the pixels (as real physical pixels) is way better than having 4x AA that is trying to repeat pixels in order to fill up the aliasing in pictures.
Here's a few!
Distance from screen, people all tend to have a preference for how close or far away a screen is.
Eyesight, people may not be able to distinguish between no AA and 8xAA thanks to poor genetics or other factors.
Performance : Is the visual improvement worth the performance hit, can the end users hard ware handle the game.
Game engine : Some games engines handle edges better than others and barely need AA in the first instance.
Try not to get your personal preferences confused with "needs". Less friction that way and every body gets to enjoy the forum without being insulted.
Anywhom!
Anyone going to be buying one of these 16 core behemoths?
What do you intend to use yours for.
any AA makes a difference but going from 8x-16x or whatever is not anywhere as near dramatic as no AA to 2/4x AA.
More AA usually helps but there are diminishing returns.
It also depends the game on content on screen.
Older games show jaggedness way more than new games due to graphics differences.
old games had far more straight lines/
Human eye can see 720 PPI at 1 foot away. That is why prints are done at 600-720 DPI.
Again you prove to be a twit and fail to understand basic knowledge.
1080P 5 in=440.58ppi
1440P 5 in =587.44 PPI
4K 5 in = 881.16 PPI
300 DPI prints vs 600 DPI prints are very noticeable. I must prefer 600 DPI prints.techdissected.com/ask-ted/ask-ted-how-many-ppi-can-the-human-eye-see/
