Core Count vs Clock Speed Considerations
- Higher clock speed is more beneficial for gaming than raw core count
- Aim for 6-16 cores, depending on whether you multitask (stream, record, etc.)
- Avoid bottlenecks by matching your CPU with the GPU’s performance level
- NVM SSDs offer much faster read/write speeds than SATA SSDs
- Reduce game loading times and texture streaming delays
- Ideal: Gen 4 or Gen 5 NVM SSD (7000 MB/s+)
Memory (RAM)
Minimum and Recommended RAM for 8K
- Minimum: 32 GB DDR5
- Recommended: 64 GB DDR5, especially for modern AAA titles and multitasking.
