Hi, apologies if this is repetitive thread or if there is a sticky somewhere but i've been having trouble finding any info on this.
Basically I have a phenom 9650 2.3Ghz quad core cpu but have read that most games don't use all the cores and so this processor for gaming is worse than say a dual core with a higher clock.
Just wondering if I can expect a rise in performance in the future as new games make use of multi-threading? Thinking in terms of future upgrades of my cpu...whether waiting around may be fruitful.
Cheers
