Hellgate London on Intel 8-core

Krevok, your first comment isn't entirely true due to the law of diminishing returns. But yeah overall a Quad will beat a similarly clocked dual any day

converting a server board for gaming is intel's 2008 stupid idea. The Skull Trail will cost you a mere $650 $3000 for two quad-core 3.2GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors $800 for your choice of graphics card So, yours for $4450 then! Will this motherboard be compatible with Intel's next generation chips? Probably not. Games, generally, are not great users of multi-threading architecture so even under high demand only two of the eight cores are going to be used at a time.

i have that case!!!!!!!!!!!

fuk who gives a sht wat computer u have as long as it can play games im fine with iti dnt sit there saying oh yer my comp is betta cause i hve this and u dnt seriously get a life

i'agree, Intel sucks. intel is like Blackwater privete contracters

no, it doesn't scale that way....

actually yes it does, but only when games are made to utilize both cores. the same goes with any programs, each core is basically its own processor, when programs are made to utilize both cores equally, then you get 2x the performance. that's why quadcores arent recommended over dual cores yet, due to games being made for dual cores.

It's all about FSB Speeds. It's no good having a 300Mhz bus speed, for example, if you are going to have multiple cores, the best idea is to have matching FSB & RAM speeds with core Processor thread speeds, if that makes sense. But Hell yeah, I do really want an Asus Z7S WS Skulltrail system with OctaCore technology CPUs, that would be awesome!

If you run something like cinebench it show it scales at about 3.6X from 1 core to 4 cores so that isnt that bad imo, but cinebench isnt a game so its really down game coders to utalize all cores available

A lot more weather effects in HGL? oh Roper, there aren't ANY weather effects in your flop of a game.
