As much as I love AMD, it was never a good choice to choose their CPU for gaming. The problem is they targeted two markets at once (Business / Consumers) while Nvidia or Intel will have specific models to target those specific markets.

I'm thankful AMD force Intel to actually do something instead of just improving the performance of the chip every year but I don't see them being a huge market share. Reddit might not be the best place to gather data but the majority of people don't need that many core in their everyday life and that is the key answer. The 6C /12T 5Ghz is the perfect answer for today demands. Most games wont be using that many cores and by the time they do, we will probably be at 8c or 10c CPU's. The argument about having more core is future proofing happens every year and the CPU companies know exactly how many cores to give us since the gaming companies will always design their games around the average consumer market CPU so having more cores wont make a difference unless its business related and even then most programs are still single threaded dependent.
