They want to leverage the multi-core technology (and weÃ‚â€™re not just talking about four cores) and improve AI and the overall realism of the games to levels weÃ‚â€™ve never seen before and they seem to be on track for doing it. From a gaming prospective, is it really worth upgrading to Quad Core right now? Probably not! Is it worth waiting a little while and seeing what all the software and gaming developer companies do? Yes! Right now the hardware is ahead of the software Ã‚â€“ keep an eye out on patches for your favourite games or applications and decide for yourself if you really need four CPU cores inside your system at the moment.
