Toms Hardware "How Many Cpu Cores Do You Need?"

[Holysky]

GTA4 is horribly ported lol

i don't get it Xbox 360 has a triple core processor yet if someone has a quad core in their pc, that isn't enough

It sucks. I think the XBOX games are coded to use all 3 cores on its CPU and they port the games over without multi-core re-coding.

I don't think it makes sense to go for a 3 core processor simply because if you are buying a new cpu,mobo,memory combo why not spend a little more for quad to give you future scalability. When I build my core 2 duo setup a few years back when they first came out I remember thinking I'll never need anything faster than this, so 3 cores may seem fine for the time being but 4 cores will outlast them
