just read this; San Francisco (CA) - In what promises to be one of the main themes of the Intel Developer Forum, Intel touted the virtues of quad-core gaming to members of the press, during a pre-show, "extreme multi-threaded" benchmarking session. Despite current programming challenges, quad-core CPUs will accelerate games and even enable physics effects without the need of an add-in card, Intel promises. last week amd were on about them using one for graphics,now intel with one for physics, does any one think that they think that the ammount of processing power with 4 cores is over kill, or is it just too hard to programm for them all, because thats what it looks like to me
I can't think of a use for four cores until either there are more multi-threaded applications or multiple cores can be threaded together.
