Who cares really? 8c/16t processor will last You for next 6-7 years. It will be next Nehalem in terms of efficiency.

4 working at 4Ghz still beat 8 working at 1.6/1.75...
There are some (unrealistic) instruction mixes where a single Jaguar core is as fast as a Bulldozer module per clock. However, in many realistic instruction mixes a module will be about as fast as 2 cores, and in particular artificial ones it could be faster than 2 cores, again per clock. All while running at more than twice the clock frequency.
I wouldn't make such a broad statement, or such an inaccurate one considering that "Jaguar" is an architecture and not an implementation, and i7 is a family of architectures and not even one particular architecture.Isn't Jaguar like a dual core i7 clocked at 1.8 GHz or something like that as far as performance goes? I think I remember Durante or somebody saying that in a thread once.
4k textures is nothing new at all
and i do have Nvidia 780x2
Haswell-E wont be out until late 2014.
and after the IB-E delays dont expect it until late 2014.
I hope those are different people. Nothing would make me happier than for games to embarrass my box and shame me into finally upgrading.PC GAF can be amusing at times. After spending years (myself included) complaining about how the previous gen consoles were holding us back and underutilizing our tri-Titan powered rigs (OK, not tri-Titans in my case), we now get to hear about how next gen games are 'lazy ports' that would obviously run on a 486 with 2 MB of RAM if those devs weren't so lazy..../s
Yes, resolution is entirely GPU dependent. CPU dependent would be things like frame rate, draw distance, or the number of active actors in a scene.A higher res really won't put anymore strain on CPU, that's all GPU dependent? What's CPU dependent in these sorts of games?
That probably isn't even enough for 4k, you'll probably need a 3rd card for decent framerate.
First of all, resolution is independent of your CPU, completely. Secondly, an i7 (regardless of which revision) at 4.6 GHz will run circles around this game.

There is no possibility at all, regardless of instruction mix, of 8 Jaguar cores at 2 Ghz being faster than 4 Piledriver modules at 4 Ghz.4 working at 4Ghz have the same theoretical performance of 8 working at 2Ghz. However, with FP intensive code Jaguar should be faster.
Yes.i have an i7 860 oc at 3.7 it's enough in your opinion ?
30fps is fine by me
and i know Ubisoft games are not tailored for PC at all so yeah the performance might be bad but because it'll be a port from next-gen version

What display you using?
Especially when consoles uses only 6 cores and at 1.6ghz frequency in games.There is no possibility at all, regardless of instruction mix, of 8 Jaguar cores at 2 Ghz being faster than 4 Piledriver modules at 4 Ghz.

Samsung 1440p and crank any res i want on it for screenshots
Or they're just abandoning old standards that are holding us back to some extent.
This better look absolutely stonking then.
They mean 8 hardware threads.I've only looked at this for a minute and haven't been up on CPUs in a while, but the list on Wiki of Intel Core processors doesn't list any eight-cores at all, even among the most recent hign-end i5s and i7s.

Faze..
you wrong here bro.
They mean 8 hardware threads.
(Intel does have 8 core CPUs though. And 12 core CPUs. I use them every day!)
No. Not until Haswell E.maybe he means non xeon cpus. do they even provide a true 8 core/12 core CPU under the i7 consumer level badge?

Yes.
My overclocked i7-2600k will be fine, but I worry about my GTX 590, with its paltry 1.5GB of VRAM, in the future.
My I7-2600k 3,4 Ghz, 7970 Ghz Edition 3gb Vram, Windows 8 64 bit and 16 gig memory are totally ready for this.
In an absolutely ideal instruction mix for Jaguar (which is not realistically possible), the theoretical FP performance is equal. So this:I am talking about theoretical performance.
makes no sense, and is what I was objecting to.However, with FP intensive code Jaguar should be faster.
I'm hoping this is the start of a good trend for PC gaming.
1) The 64-bit requirement is an excellent one. Given that the next gen platforms have 5GB+ usable for games, this should lead to 64-bit being mandatory on the PC side.
2) Using 8 cores/threads for best performance is excellent. So many existing PC games don't scale beyond 2 cores/threads due to being based on 360/PS3 code. This needs to change and hopefully this is the start.
3) Requiring DX11 and 2GB VRAM is also good. Most current PC games are written to DX9, with a few having DX11 code paths for some minor benefits. Being DX11 only will mean PC games will take advantage of the latest GPU HW.
Now Ubisoft just needs to get rid of Uplay and their games might be worth purchasing...
You wouldn't want Jaguar in a desktop. At that power envelope you are much better off with a Piledriver in AMD land. Or any desktop Intel CPU of course.Is there a Jaguar CPU, desktop PCs edition, on the way? Any links or known dates?
... Hmm.Come to papa:
Is there a Jaguar CPU, desktop PCs edition, on the way? Any links or known dates?
Have you seen the current gen versions?How is this game possible for 360/PS3 though? Quadcore CPU as a minimum seems extreme. I call mistake.
Dude, you have the same exact PC as me, minus the Ghz Edition of that card, I just have the regular one.
