Gaming on 4 Cores (Core i9 9900K) Is 4 Cores Enough???
COD stuttered quite a bit. Microsoft flight simulator 2020 is ruined. CSGO is fine, no surprise. Would I personally recommend getting a CPU with 4 cores, no. Windows 10 needs more than 4 cores to run without reducing the in-game performance. The two garbage laptops that I have are on windows 10 and have a 2 core CPU. Both of them stutter like crazy on Dolphin Emulator until you turn off dual in the dolphin.ini or just wait an hour before using it (Until it starts to lag again). Running a lower version of windows such as XP runs better on a dual core system, but can't play most modern games due to drivers and what not
