Anyone know how many CPU Cores 2024 will use?

No one except the developers. And they arenāt talking.

No more than eight I would think, it certainly wonāt be anything like 24 (although more cores will probably help with peripheral apps and multitasking). Anyone who had done their research before buying would have known that no games can use that many cores. These huge cpuās are ignored by the games industry, they are outliers and not worth the extra problems or effort.

Iām hoping it optimizes all eight Vcache cores on my 7950X3D.
I can turn Game Bar and Game Mode off and force the simās affinity in Process Lasso to those cores and let everything else run on the non-Vcache cores.
Those settings, along with the a few BIOS tweaks and the Ultimate Power Plan will also basically eliminate core parking, and the sim will use however many Vcache cores FS2024 gives us.
Will I use more electricity? Yep.
Will it run hotter than my 5800X3D? Yep.
Will it help heat my house in the winter? Yep.

If itās a thin client, why would it use more than one?

The sim isnāt running in the cloud. More will be transferred on-demand, and the computer will process it. So itās not a thin client workflow.

I donāt think itās crystal clear yet. They said āthin clientā and ā5 times fasterā, so how they get that done is still a mystery.

Until we start seeing real world benchmarks, itās all just marketing fluff that no one should take seriously. Claims of a thin client and speed increases are meaningless right now.

Hereās my understanding of what a āThin Clientā is:
A thin client is used for desktop virtualization, shared services, or browser-based computing. With a virtualized desktop setup, including one where each user has a remote desktop, each individual desktop exists within a virtual machine, which is simply a partition inside a centralized server.
I highly doubt that will be the FS2024 model. Rather, it will be a migration of data currently downloaded and stored on local drives to more of a streaming SaaS model. Thatās really the only way to increase performance for the Xbox given the increase in data required by the sim.
My biggest concern is internet bandwidth. Not for me, as I have a 1Gb fiber connection. But what about users who live in places without high-speed internet, or who canāt afford it? Things could get much worse for them.
Iād love to be proven wrong.

Jƶrg mentioned something about only downloading te LODs you need and not the whole bundle (of 30 or 40 levels)

It kind of seems like thatās happening now, what with objects popping into view as you fly over them.

Iām not seeing that much at LOD 400 so I suspect not

I have my TLOD and OLOD set to 145.
I canāt run 4K with those set any higher on my system with the other settings I need for the sim to be enjoyable. I didnāt have that āpoppingā problem before the latest SU. Iām not the only one. Xbox or PC.

Iām only ever at 1620p or 1440p, Iām also not in a jet which probably helps

They may be stuck with 2020
I suspect they are talking about files you currently have downloaded locally but your game only loads them into RAM/VRAM from disk when you need them, as you do not have unlimited VRAM, they pop into view as you load from disk
the new plan seems to be (it is not clear) you do not have a local copy at all ??? - the game gets them straight from the cloud and loads them up directly into RAM/VRAM ??
It does not sound like a true thin client (which is a low power CPU locally using CPU time on the server instead) in the strict technical sense, maybe what management call a thin client as management like buzz words and do not care about strict definitions.
I would take ā5 times fasterā with a pinch of salt, that is likely only possible in the best possible scenario for SAAS where the user has a very low end PC with absolute minimum specs but very fast internet. I do not see a Ryzen 9 7950X with a RTX4090 and a Crucial T705 Gen5 SSD getting anything like a 5x performance boost. We are not going to see high end systems which currently run MSFS at 100fps jumping up to 500fps that would be insane.

Will have to order my fiber internet to go from 500 to 1gb
I have a 13900 and a 4090 with 48 RAM. Heck, I canāt get much more than 40FPS on a good day. Mostly 30.
Perhaps. I was skeptical myself. I have a couple of theories of how they could do it, but thatās all speculation. Weāll know soon enough.
