You notice that my older i7 has limited performance. If the game is designed to utilize multiple cores, it should make the most of all available threads. Yet, in the games I play right now, it doesn’t seem to fully use the CPU’s parallel processing capabilities. I’d like to see improvements, especially for dual-core systems, as most new laptops are now only dual-core.
