403861 2005-11-13 00:58:00 I don't usually post "interesting links", however I have seen many posts recently concerning CPU's for gaming and the dual core gaming question.

This artical seems unbiased and is right up to date testing the latest games, F.E.A.R, Quake4,SS2 and COD2 . In a nut shell it shows AMD64 best for gaming (especially the high end exspensive FX's), with the new Dual cores not really having any advantage, with Intel still behind.

If you have some spare time and are interested.

They pretty much all do.
Dual Core isn't an advantage yet because the current games haven't been written to take advantage of it.
Yet.

That is correct and the general feeling is another 10+ months before we will see a game engine truly capable of utilising dual core.
