games that use 6/8 cores
Yes, some titles leverage multiple cores effectively. While Battlefield 1 may run on up to six cores, other games also utilize multiple processing units for better performance.
The 8700K offers double the cores compared to the 7700K, making it more powerful.
The 7700k typically experiences more frequent boosts, resulting in slightly better single-core speed.
GTA V, Battlefield 1, Assassin's Creed... Numerous titles can leverage more than four cores; yet many remain limited to four if those cores aren't sufficiently fast. Benchmarks show a 7700K often stays under 50% usage, fully engaging all cores without taking full advantage of hardware features. Conversely, devices like the FX-8350 reach 60-70%, effectively utilizing around six cores. Generally, how Windows measures CPU activity—such as 6C/6T exceeding 67% or 8C/8T surpassing 50%—indicates potential for better performance with more than four cores. The actual benefit varies, sometimes only a slight improvement, other times the system could run optimally across all available cores.
