Rumor that top Zen CPU will have 32 cores: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/230...rious-heat

I can see that for servers, no clue why anyone would care at home.

That chip would be a power user's dream. A lot of people do real work like 3D rendering on their PC. I still remember waiting for 3 days for my computer to render my thesis in university. At that time it was rendering about 20 high resolution images and that's how long it took on a single core overclocked Athlon Barton. I can only imagine how quickly a CPU like a 32 core Zen CPU would render 3D images.

A lot of people also do video encoding and stuff. There are uses for more cores. Not so much for gaming. As an enthusiast I would definitely love a CPU like that . I also run 32GB of RAM though.
