All speculation though as its not out yet.
If it doesn't run well on a 3570k then its got terrible coding.
i agree with you, but if i where to build a system today for future games i would rather have an 8 thread capable CPU...but these are no speculation these are the specs that have been posted by ubisoft's developpers, they have
the game in hands and know what they are doing, they recommanded that type of configuration for a reason...
Where does it say that Ubisoft gave these specs?
I disagree. Although the 8350 has 8 cores, they are slower cores and older architecture. Its a great CPU ( I have one in my work computer and its very good at the tasks I give it), but for gaming I would be looking at the 4670k or 4770k for longevity, not the AMD 8 core.
Regardless of how well they can multithread games, IPC and single thread performance will always be important for games.
are you saying that IGN or Pc Gamer made-up these specifications by themselves?
Of course they come from ubisoft otherwise they would have not published them...
and about IPC i do agree too that it is important in games...that is why the FX-43xx, FX-63xx and FX-83xx have only 30% les IPC per core compared to intel's flagship CPU...still it's way enough for anything...just look at the PS4 and xbox one they have way worse IPC than the FX cpu's and still they will run the same games
on 6 or 8 threads at a time...this is where the industry is going wheter you jump in the wagon or not...of course the 4770k will always lead the way, but the 4670k will trail behind the FX 8 core as the time will go by...
Yes thats exactly what I am saying, its not uncommon for sites to speculate themselves on specs, without them coming from the game maker/publisher.
Again what you are saying is speculation, you dont know that the 4670k will trail behind the FX 8 as time goes by. You say your self that the lower performance 8 cores in the consoles will be able to run the games, and you think a much faster quad wont? That makes no sense.
The majority of people who game on pcs are on Intel systems so I would be surprised if game makers alienated their biggest customer base (over 74% of gamers on steam are using Intel CPUS, 47% are on dual cores 44% on quads and only 4.7% on higher than quad).
