Well, I dunno what your sources are. But from what I have found, the IPC will go up, the amount of cores will go up, the frequency will be at the same level or only very slightly go up.
Anyways, lots of users have newer Intel or AMD CPUs with 8 threads or even way more. My point was and still is: It would be nice if SMP would get more attention - as soon as possible. 9900K, 3900X, even a 3600X would perform way better if SMP gets more attention.
Currently I got the 9700K (8 cores at 5,3GHz - no multithreading) and DCS just don`t want to use all given cores - which is kinda sad :cry:
