Will the Mantle-API(Battlefield 4) support integer cores like the Vishera FX-8320. It's said that Mantle API will optimize utilization up to 8 cores, but is that 8 physical cores or integer cores like this cpu has. I heard that the 8 threads are only useful for video editing.

But the Mantle API could change that(I don't know i'm asking you :D)
I've read alot about the low-level API specification, but that question has yet to be answered.

Mantle will work on AMD 7xxx series and newer cards and will give performance boosts or add more eye candy for the same performance.
It will take advantage of all 8 cores of a CPU including the AMD FX series. AMD make 8 core CPU's so it make sense for them to take that route. It should reduce the graphics overhead on a CPU and leave more power for the CPU to do other things.
Also Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 can use 8 cores of a CPU.
Assassins Creed 4 uses 5 cores of my 8 core
