I really wish more games implemented its MumbleLink API for positional audio between clients. https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Link
For example, GW2 implements so people sound relative to where your characters are if they are on the same map. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:MumbleLink
The API has also allowed for other tools such at GW2 Tactical Overlay (http://www.gw2taco.com/) to present additional positional information.
"This animated short proposes what many earthlings have long feared -- that the automobile has inherited the planet. When life on Earth is portrayed as one long, unending conga-line of cars, a crew of extra-terrestrial visitors understandably assume they are the dominant race. While humans, on the other hand, are merely parasites. An Oscar® nominee, this film serves as an entertaining case study."
However, both in the SC Mixed results on the benchmarks you linked, and in individual benchmarks at Anandtech ( https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2255?vs=2127), the single threaded results track previous generations.
Intel still had to go wide to increase performance due to competition from AMD. They didn't increase generational improvement on their individual cores.
It's $10 per 50 gb beyond that, or $50 for supposedly unlimited that I used to get in the base price.
