A single core processor is not enough for todays modern games. Saddly, even dual-cores are being bogged down. The days of a highly clocked dual-core being better than a lower clocked quad are coming to an end. With the increased amounts of physic game developers are cramming into games, and increased realizm, dual-core processor are starting to show they can't keep up.

Once a game is coded for symetrical multiprocessing, the fewer cores it is running on the slower it will go. Since a lot of games are ports from Xbox 360 which has a tri-core processor, you really need at least a tri-core for a lot of modern games.I can understand a single core being swamped somewhat, but not a dual.
I believe the Core i7 still comes out on top because it can do more work than the hexa-core processor. I imagine they are probably pretty close though.Quick questions guys, a friend and I was wondering this...
From a theoretical standpoint which CPU has the advantage the six core AMD Barcelona or the 4 core I7 with 4 virtual cores
Edit: or is it the Istanbul with the six cores, but either way the advantage is where?

It's 4 cores vs 6 cores, each core has a cache. I would imagine the 6 core would be better.
my first Computer was an AMD, and it kicks ass compared to my dad's intel computer(from back then).
Sadly since then ive swung to intel, and im sure that someday AMD will rise again, i hope that they will have their time in the sun once more.
Looking good but they also need to plan on moving to 32nm as well which Intel will have by years end I believe.

i thought they were going to 22
Actually AMD already has a 6 core processor. It is a server processor and is not for desktops. I am sure they will release a 6 core desktop processor by the end of this year.
Yes Intel will be the first to 32 nm, but AMD release a statement back in Feb. I believe that stated they were currently targeting being the first to 28 nm. Granted, 4 nm doesn't seem like much, but we are talking about at least 4 to 8 cores based on this architecture. This provides 16 to 32 nm more space for additional core, more cache space, smaller chip size, less heat.
I just hope they can reach their goal and be the first to 28 nm. That would be the turning point if all goes well.

In what games are Dual cores bogged down?
The physics developers are cramming into game are, at the moment, being handled by the GPU or phys card.
I disagree with the Tense of your post completely. Give it another year or 2 and you'll be right. but at the moment there aren't many (if any) games that will perform better on a lower clocked, same cache quad core.
The major factor effecting modern games is the GPu not the amount of cores.
Btw. i'm seriously considering AMD for my next big upgrade, i just need to look into the price vs. performance for my budget.

It'll depend on application as always. If the app can utilize all 6 cores then yeah you'd think so, if it also utilized HT well then they may be pretty close. I believe Westmere (I7) is supposed to have a 32nm 6-core iteration near the end of this year though, so this likely won't catch AMD up much. A bit though, if they keep pushing at this rate they may get back into it (race for the fastest that is), they already know Intel's timeline for the next 3 years.
AMD doesn't own the fabs anymore. They split the fabs off and created the "Global Foundry Company" or something like that. AMD's fabs have never transistioned to a smaller processs before Intel.Actually AMD already has a 6 core processor. It is a server processor and is not for desktops. I am sure they will release a 6 core desktop processor by the end of this year.

It isn't. The FB-DIMMs on Xeons are higher latency but mega bandwidth (not to mention very high write performance). The FB-DIMM design effectively eliminates the problems associated with FSB bandwidth. If you had some $15,000, you could make a 24-core server.I don't think so. Dunnington uses the old and crappy fsb, i could imagine, this would be a serious bottleneck.
If i have to bet, a six core opteron would be faster on the whole.
