I was surfing tomshardware.com and found this

looks like AMD might pass up Intel

it would be great if it was for gaming 12 cores imagine what you could do lol
with that Left 4 Dead would run dead smooth cause bots use a lot of processing power (no pun intended)

Oh lordy.

Utterly pointless considering Quad Core CPU's are hardly utilised by today's games.

Nonetheless it is drool worthy.

never hurts to be prepared for later on

but awesome man XD

imagine play 2 games
css and dods
when yo die in Css you wait to spawn while playn dods, yea thats 12 cores for you lol.

 

[Rogue Sniper]

cant play css and dods at the same time, they both utilize the hl2.exe process which steam also denys you from running. but it would be cool to run both those games at once or multiple of the same game

Servers usually have more CPU's

cool news but my only questions are.. 1. is this logical for a consumer market? (my guess is this is server stuff) and 2. Will i need a high interest loan too own one?

1. yes CPU hogs such as L4D with all the bots may benefit
2. No need to go to college these will be worth it lol (hopefully)
