My single core OCed 3500+ beats most of the new AM2 Dual Core processors in gaming benchmarks still.

Crysis is going to have little benefit from Dual or Quad Core.

I don't think the 2-3 Korean guys per screen are going to tax CPUs with their advanced AIs. What specifically does the dual core help with in Crysis.

well maybe thats because the benchmarks you are doing dont utilize both cores. hhhmmm did you think of that? I think that they will. With the AI being so advanced and there codes being so complex it will be one of the new games to really start using the advantages of dual core.

most new games will start to utilise more cores especially valve read these articles:

crysis will most certainly have dual core support so should beat any single core CPU`s. Mainly as AI, Physics and sound could be split between both cores. Compared to a single core CPU which would have to do it all.

ive read that crysis (and games after it) will use the different cores for ai, physics, sound, etc. each aspect of the game on a different thread

aaahhh crysis. to bad I will have to wait a hellofa long time to get my computer set up ro plat it.

Crysis in fact is going to need a Dual-Core CPU to run smooth or "great"
Crysis Requirements

If you think Oblivion is a hungry hungry hippo o wait... I mean a "hungry resource" game wait until Crysis comes into play.

um phisx if uve seen the minimum requirements its duel core or single core with phisx card and it even explains thjat u need one or the other as the game has very demanding phisix

[Juice Daddy]

I make it just at minimum (with overclocks)

[Preacher]

i make it at recommended
