What people have been saying is absolutely correct. Dual IS the next generation in gaming. The reason why AMD made such claims is because current games aren't incorporating dual core technology as few people have made the switch to dual core thus far. Current games are optimized for single core processing. As time goes on and the market has allowed more people to make the switch to dual core, game developers will start incorporating the technology and then the true advantages in dual core processing will be relevant even in gaming.
