i don't think anything other than BF4 utilize more than 4 cores, maybe  later/future games will support more cores as default..

Details separate people.

Skyrim with mods, Crysis 3 (maybe), Witcher 2. Im sure there is more but heavily modded Skyrim eats up CPU cores.

crysis 3 and watch dogs, also (maybe) mantle and dx12 will definitly support even load across cores.

 

Task manager shows load on all cores but they just switch so fast between cores that it looks like it uses them, but in fact it doesnt use more than 4 cores at once in most games

only games that use OVER 4 cores? or games that scale across x cores/threads..

some games ive tested only use every-other thead on my fx8 and i havent had a phenom x6 to test, bit like asking what games use virtual cores? also anything that doesn't max out a thread will usually be gpu limited, it doesnt matter if cores 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 are at 20% if core 1 is at 100%
games that use 1 thread per module/full cores on 4 threads (so you'll have cpu resources spare)
simcity 2013
world of tanks

world Of tanks usage New 2

swtor (i know right..)
dayz standalone*
crysis kinda (see below)

I dont know for 100% certain but twr2 only uses one core on my pc. I checked with msi afterburner a few times while playing and one core was maxed out while others were at around 20%

The only games that truly use more than 4 cores are Crysis3, Watch Dogs, and BF4.

 

Crysis3 you are GPU bound, so more cores doesn't really help much.

 

Watch Dogs is horribly optimized, and while it uses more cores, i5s still beat out FX8s.
