Threads in BF4
Threads in BF4
The data indicates that 4 cores or threads provide the full advantage of Battlefield 4. Reducing below that number only slightly improves performance. Speed measurements don’t appear to have a major influence either.
No, it should be 4 cores or threads in total. The i3s tested have 2 cores, but the test runs with 4 threads because each core can handle two tasks simultaneously. An i5 provides 4 cores but only 4 threads since each core works on one task at a time. An i7 offers 4 cores with 8 threads, similar to an i5 where each core still processes one thing per cycle. The AMD 8350 boasts 8 cores but only 8 threads, mirroring an i5’s single-threaded behavior.
The stock price of 8350 is expected to support BF4 gaming. It should not cause any performance problems.
