@ HardOCPCPUs are an important part of gaming, it is impossible currently to play a computer game without one no matter how much you are told these processors are becoming a diminishing portion of your gaming experience. We have recently seen the Infernal Engine scale gameplay physics, not effects physics, across 8 threads of an Intel Core i7 processor. We’ve been seeing CPUs trending towards improving multi-core designs, adding more cores, and deepening pipelines instead of simply being focused on clock speed. Does all this matter to the gamer?
