Ryzen works very well with single threaded games/apps, it shines in 4+ core games and apps and will continue to do so, I don't understand your point (again)But how much of the "future" would you like to be proofed for?
If some software isn't using 4 cores today, it means it'll have to be significantly rewritten. And it's not just that a coder will have to change the algorithm to something using more cores. It's more likely that someone will have to sit down with a pencil and invent the algorithm...
Some improvements could be just around a corner, some will take years and some will never happen.
I'm with you on the general idea, that most of the software will move towards multi-thread performance. This is fairly obvious.
And here is your choice today:
1) you can buy a "future-proof" CPU, but it might just be that this future is very far away or not happening at all.
2) you can buy a "present-proof" CPU that works well with software that you use today and will most likely use for next 2-3 years.
Do I wish I had bought a measly 4c chip with no htt for the same price as my 6c/12t Ryzen? hell no lol
