Which are your opinions and not the conclusion of the article. Neither Dice nor the author have said the experience will be subpar and suffer much stutter if the person has a recent i5 quad core. The author simply concluded that quad cores will perform worse than 6 cores. That's it. That could simply mean lower framerates.
How about you just quote what the author says instead of pretending your own opinions are the author's opinions? The author said BF5 will be hard on quad cores and quads will perform worse than 6 cores. That is all.
Nowhere did the author say i5 quad cores will make Battlefield 5 be subpar, suffer stutter, or be unplayable.
They extrapolated that quad cores will performance worse (eg. by getting lower fps) than the 6 cores. That's it. You're jumping to conclusions that the author never made based on your own assumptions.
Nobody doubts quad cores will get lower framerates than 6 cores. The problem here is you've jumped to conclusions by claiming quad cores will be subpar and suffer stuttering.
A quad core getting lower average framerates than a 6 core does not automatically mean the quad core will also have stuttering and a subpar performance. Got it? The author is talking about apples and you suddenly started talking about oranges.
Completely false. Why don't you go look at the timestamps again? I posted it at 3:05 AM and edited it 5 minutes later at 3:10 AM. You quoted my post at 3:26 AM. Do you realize you were quoting my the most recent version of my post 16 minutes AFTER I had already posted it?
Furthermore, In your own post above, you literally quoted my sentence which had the words "quad i5 like those." I did not simply add in those words after the fact if your own post literally quoted those words.
You are the one trying to mislead people. Or maybe you don't understand 3:26 AM comes after 3:10 AM and also don't even bother read your own posts.
Here is a screenshot of your own post where you clearly quoted my sentence as saying "quad i5 like those." Why don't you just admit your mistake instead of making false accusations?
