t wasn't too long ago that games didn't really take advantage of the multi core monsters lurking in PC gamers systems. It was often little benefit to have a quad, other than if you happened to do 'other things' such as image editing, video editing -- creative stuff. But, the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 were both multi core systems, and I'd a feeling that more games would quickly be able to use such things.
The appeal of a Quad Core started when I saw a technology demo of the Intel Quad Cores. This was back in 2006 when Intel were just unveiling their Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad ranges. Alan Wake was running on a quad core system, with a whole cpu being devoted to the use of Physics in game. As soon as I had chance, I jumped on the Q6600. The fact is, that game engines are developed to run on a wide variety of hardware. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 were both multi core. Take the X360 for instance -- it's CPU is 3 cores, each handling 2 threads. It was fairly obvious to me that game engines would start taking advantage of this for the PC too. It makes the porting process a lot easier. I'll admit, that certain games such as GTA4 on PC took more of an advantage than others, but still -- there were signs.
PC gamers will only benefit from this course of action.
