AMD operton 6200 16 cores?

[zuesters]

hi guys i've heard about the AMD 6200 operton but seriously 16 cores? can i have reviews about it i also heard Xbox 720 will be using it, do you think it will be BEASTLY for gaming?

No , the games out today will only take advantage of two or three cores. If you have a six core , eight core or more there re no games that will use more than two or three of them. I do know this from personal experience since I have a 980X six core cpu.

result -mehh;

Games have not been limited by recent CPU as much as GPU is the limiting factor.

Pretty nice, i guess its BEASTLY for a server =p

Even the older Xeons beat it out, guess the new Sandybridge and Ivybridge 8 Core Xeons absolutely destroy this thing!
