When my daughter was born, I had to give up my office/man cave room(at least until we buy a bigger house). In the meantime, I've turned the corner of our master bedroom into what my wife mockingly calls my "man corner". I make this corner as bright and annoying to her as possible. I dig it. I wish they had all this cool LED shit back in the day when we were dropping acid.

Ive said it before but the only CPUs worth buying today are 8c/16t or better. With the ps5/xboxwhatever being basically a 3700X, 8c/16t will be the standard for all future games.

Current consoles already have 8 cores, and they do not have 16 processes, and based on the specs of the new xbox I dont think they will have 16 processes either. Just another 8 core proc but with vastly better clock speeds and bandwidth. Also from what I read 2 of those cores are relegated for the OS. They are not sticking a $350 processor into an xbox of playstation thats supposed to be priced at a rumored $499.

You are right that the sweet spot is the 8/16 for PC but I dont think this has anything to do with consoles, current or future.

They are also boasting the capability of 4K at 60fps up to 120 fps (with 8k capability) which I think is laughable since it takes a $2K card in a pc and even that is hard pressed to get 60fps at 4K and this is also with a proc thats running close to 5.0ghz. But maybe with less and more shitty textures? Who knows.

I know the printer discussion was a few weeks ago but here at work we have a HP LJ 1100 from 1999. It's been here for as long as I have and I'm taking it into retirement with me in 20 years.

They more or less are as with AMD's architecture all their CPUs are the same. Their varying core/thread counts come from either disabling cores or manufacturing defects. The 3600X and 3700X are the exact same processors physically, its just the 3600X has 2c/4t disabled to make it a 3600X instead of a 3700X.
