It really is utilising all the threads, thats odd because that would seem then to make it a better option than an i3 or i5 because it would utilize the threads but in this case it didnt. Odd indeed, maybe the performance of the multi-threading is poor for this game or something to the degree of "Mantle" was the focus lol.That's not the case at all. From what I have seen so far the game will fully utilize up to 8 threads. The FX-8350 was completely maxed out at each frequency which makes the horrible AMD performance all the more surprising.
Also @Steve any chance in the future you might throw some Kaveri APU's in the bench (Mostly for the CPU performance I mean) just to see how it handles.
But I guess the point here is buy Intel processors because the single threaded is just the better option for gaming. I can't wait for Haswell-E so I can grab the mid-range 6 core (Or possibly 8 core).
