Hyperthreading for gaming

I do agree that an 8 core cpu from intel with or without HT would be a juicy buy. Depending on how it compares to ryzen at the time of course. God bless AMD for competing.
As a side note on the AMD side I would not consider a processor without SMT. As far as I know most of them have it anyways.

There are two programs I run that AMD Ryzen series just can't run very well for some reason and they still have not been optimized, and I imagine Intel will always have a slight edge in most games, so I have no choice but 8 core Intel. I might even do a 10 core extreme series whenever the new line of those come out, not sure yet, but I am pretty sure my next CPU purchase will be the last silicon purchase I ever make.

Stop lying to yourself, you buy new hardware every six months or so

Silicon will be here for quite a few years still, if not a decade or more. The news of new technology always far exceeds reality.

The commercially available non-silicon CPU is already behind with the first originally predicted to be here in 2017. I am sure non-silicon CPUs will be arriving within the next couple years, but silicon based processors will still be around for decades - maybe not as the primary processors in computers, but certainly in other digital applications - especially in embedded systems.
