You’ll Need An Intel i7 To Unlock The Full Experience Of 'Arizona Sunshine'

My old 920 still handles everything well

My old i7 920 still delivers decently... poor ol' girl

I wonder how this would work with Xeon processors. You can get more cores (usually a little slower clock speed) for way cheaper if you use slightly older Xeons. You can get 8 real cores of Ivy Bridge for under a hundred bucks.

A lot of comments here based on the author's single statement of "We suspect the developer is mostly concerned about having extra threads to work with." It might be true, but there might be more to it and hopefully not just Intel marketing money.

It sure would be nice if the author asked Vertigo what the real reason is and posted an update.

True, however the only noticeable difference between the i5 and the i7 series is the inclusion of Hyper-Threading.

i7? Yeah, or, just overclock a quad core with hyperthreading i5... i5 vs i7 is pretty much just some cache I believe, if it is quad core and hyperthreading already. Safe to assume Vertigo Games doesn't really know what they are talking about.

There's no such thing as a quad core with hyperthreading i5. Hyper threading is the defining difference between an i5 and an i7. This is pretty basic knowledge. I would be a little more careful going around accusing people of not knowing what they're talking about.
