I have Vishera and i would recommend it to any gamer,
Power consumption on the last few AMD chips have been way too high.

That was kind of my point though, that the minority that want amazing gaming CPUs will help push this forward again now that 8 core CPUs will be the standard in consoles. And that's one of the only things that can do it since as we both noted most other consumer applications don't really NEED heavy power.The problem isn't just a lack of competition for Intel. It's just that there is nothing performance wise the main stream market needs. Word processing, excel, email and web browsing doesn't take much power at all. Hell phones are likely powerful enough to replace most desktop machines outside of niche markets.
I can't think of anything that would drive a resurgence for mass consumers outside of maybe gaming. Perhaps an attempt to bring Jarvis to every home.

In an absolutely ideal instruction mix for Jaguar (which is not realistically possible), the theoretical FP performance is equal.
If you compare a Jaguar core to a Piledriver core (Trinity), Jaguar doesn't look that bad really.
Based on information from these sources:
- http://semiaccurate.com/2012/08/28/amd-let-the-new-cat-out-of-the-bag-with-the-jaguar-core/
- http://www.anandtech.com/show/6201/a...architecture/2
- Agner Fog's microarchitecture.pdf
We can gather following comparison results:
- Both are modern x86/x64 out of order cores (with register renaming, efficient store forwarding, etc goodies)
- Both support newest instruction sets (BMI, AVX, FC16, etc).
- Both can execute 2 integer (ALU) operations per cycle.
- Both have throughput of 8 (vector) flops per cycle per core (Jaguar = 128b add + 128b mul, Piledriver = 128b mad, assuming of course that the other core uses half of the shared FPU resources).
The FPU can do 4 individual 128 bit operations per clock of which two can be a multiply-accumulate operation (D=A*B+C). As each 128 bit operation can do up to 4 x 32 bit float operations or 2 x 64 bit float the FPU can do peak 4 x 2 (FMA units) x 2 (one multiply+one add) = 16 single precision FLOPS per clock.
So this:makes no sense, and is what I was objecting to.
Do we know what hardware they used when giving demos of this game?
Going by the benchmarks I saw earlier: between XB1 and PS4 actually, heh.i5-3570k (3.40Ghz)
560 Ti
8GB RAM
I don't.... know. Not confident with these specs. Doesn't the PS4 have more GPU power than this? This would.. what - make it between current & next-gen?

But since most 560 Tis were 1 GB cards (At least when I got mine) I personally would go next-gen if you can, though I guess it'd probably still beat out 360/PS3.
how will a 770 w/ 2 gigs of ram, a core I5 4570, and 8 gigs of general purpose stack up? Them recommending eight core CPUs have me nervous

Lol...I have a i3 2100 + 7970, so I'm out. I knew this day would come eventually...but over Watch Dogs? Just...really?
And I think someone inquired about BF3's performance on a dual core. I get 50+ FPS on Ultra. No performance complaints whatsoever.
Intel hasn't released a consumer eight core processor right?
So I'd assume 8 threaded CPU is what they are looking for unless WatchDogs runs better on AMD cores or something.
This post right here.Why are people so surprised that games made primarily for the new consoles that have 8 core CPUs will require PCs to have 8 cores to get the most out of them. This isn't rocket science.
Requirements for AAA games are not going to decrease as the generation evolves... so get used to it.

This is what happens when a console warrior wanders into a PC thread.
Wow - good point. Think I might just go console-only after all!Why are people so surprised that games made primarily for the new consoles that have 8 core CPUs will require PCs to have 8 cores to get the most out of them. This isn't rocket science.

Number of cores doesn't mean anything. Any modern PC quad core CPU is much faster than 8-cores CPUs in the new consoles. There is no requirement on the number of cores, only on the processing speed.Why are people so surprised that games made primarily for the new consoles that have 8 core CPUs will require PCs to have 8 cores to get the most out of them. This isn't rocket science.
Anyone know if these specs will be able to run the game on recommended/ultra?
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 OC 4GB
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance CML16GX3M2A1600C10 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
MOBO: MSI Z77 MPOWER Motherboard
Much appreciated.

Can you not read the specs in the OP?
I don't know much about PC specifications, so I'm not that good with comparing and knowing what's what.

Not until 2015 with Skylake.
Haswell/Broadwell are merely stop gap measures.
