BTW can anyone explain to me how the 4300/6300 are outperforming the 8350? Is it just the optimisation as the article stated? Or is there something else? Less cores that are beefier > more cores that are weaker-type-situation?
Cheers.
It is probably more of an issue with supporting anything more than 4 cores properly, really. I guess DICE has a lot of fixing to do.
Or maybe they just don't care for anything with more than 4 cores, since dual/quads is what the majority of the population got anyway, so they tailored it to the masses.
And you are spot on about the thread title, it's just disgusting and is instantly stirring up the hive, especially since it is an outright lie.
There is no need to go further, all cpus are pretty much even here, I don't see what is the topic all about, yes fx 8350 is a little better but 1-2 fps!? will that count? but you are mistaken here Gaidax, because if this were true, then nobody would upgrade, the majority of people have 2-4gb of ram why does call of duty ghost need 6 gb?
I am not mistaken because of the following: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/
It is a very powerful built-in hardware survey by Steam - notice that about 98% of all PCs' with Steam installed have 4 cores or less.
In an environment where basically every gaming computer is Quad core or lower it would only make sense that developers would first of all go on and optimize for 4 cores or less, which is exactly the case here.
I guess they are not very concerned about anything more than that, kinda makes sense because the costlier builds won't really suffer, their e-peen will just be hurt, but nothing gamebreaking really. I guess eventually they will patch in improved support for those, but it is logical that it is not really a highest priority for them.
And yes, this lack of I7 support is annoying, but honestly - the frames I'll get will be good really, so whatever anyway.
