I believe having more cores is increasingly valuable and will only grow in importance over time. Initially, when I purchased my Ryzen 2200G with four cores, most people thought it was sufficient. However, games don’t require many cores and rarely do. Those opinions proved incorrect. The CPU has always been too limited from the start for demanding titles—wasting resources. Game developers will rely more on multi-threading in the future because it makes sense and modern hardware can handle optimized code. Short version: more cores mean better future readiness. Unfortunately, I ignored my own warnings and chose a R5 3600 instead. Although it’s decent, it feels underwhelming compared to the 2200, especially for tasks like video processing, and it might become outdated much sooner than similar eight-core processors.
