I've just seen this on The INQ (yes i know they arent the most reliable) but it was quite suprising if these results hold true...

Only thing that also sticks out as faux, is the fact the outdoor snow scene sees same scores across the board for both quad and dual core. Yet the indoor shows quad @ 2.4 beating dual @ 4ghz quite considerably??

hmmm, I'm hoping this is true, it would be nice to see more and more games using the 4 cores, but the results just dont tie up

Yeah I wasnt saying if your on dual go to quad right this minute lol

But if people are budgeting nearly £200 on a CPU now (i.e. E6850/Q6600) then this all points to going the quad route.

Another point I asked myself was, if we are getting a lot of cross platform X360/PC games, surely the 360 having 3 cores, then the games will atleast use 3 of the 4 cores of the quads? (excuse my naivety lol)
