Hyperthreading

Post » Fri Jun 18, 2010 7:20 am

All I have is a crappy i5 Dual Core @ 3.33ghz. The only upside to it is that it has hyperthreading sooo.... Will Crysis 2 take advantage of it or not?

That is a good processor. It will probably support multicore processors. I've not heard of any games supporting hyper threading.

Crysis 2 should be more balanced between the processor and your graphic card this time around.

I would be interested to know the hardware for the multiplayer demos that were shown on the PC.

Hyperthreading is essentially "faked" cores. Technical reasons behind it lead to it being not as good as an actual extra core/s but the OS will see it as an extra core and thus will use it like it's an extra core.

Oh yeah, incrysis confirmed they were using a GTX260, an i7 920 w/ 6GB of RAM. I have the i5 661, a 260 and 4GB of RAM

There isn't a game or program that wil use full potential of dual core not to mention quad core CPUs
