For Intel's Xeon processors, the more cores you have the lower the frequency you get. Quad core might give you an extra gigahertz, which might be of more value to games than 12+ cores.
- NaliSauce 9y agoTrue for old games, but for them the single core performance is enough (except maybe supreme commander with 5'000 units on the field). Looking forward with DX12 and Vulcan more cores seems to be more future proof. Plus shouldn't XFR (or Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 Frequency for Intel) somewhat alleviate that particular issue?
