Dem cores matter.

But only to a certain extent.

 

This is my 2500k at a stable 4.8-5.2ghz dynamic OC, but i did this when i was on the GTX 480.

 

 

 

When 2 cores are needed only, the CPU will run at 5.2ghz, when 4, only 4.8ghz-5.0ghz depending on load.

2 cores in action showing Clock achieved in this application:

 

4 Cores showing Clock achieved.

 

 

 

I purposely limited the Frostbite engine to 2 cores, you should see the major increase in FPS above.

Be interested to see if this scales up to 8 cores.

Ah the sweet sandy bridge days where it was so easy to hit 5Ghz on overclock.

I would think it will, but an increase in FPS? i am unsure.
