Games typically run on 4 cores, so Mantle and DX12 wouldn't gain much from i7s or FX8300s. Thread distribution doesn't change much, and performance gains from more cores would likely be limited without better software optimization.

Perhaps we should wait.

It seems the decision rests with the game developers.

I concur. From what I grasp, these current games are designed with these constraints in mind, so using them on dx12/mantle wouldn’t alter anything. I believe we won’t find any backports, meaning only fresh releases would gain from this.

Yep.DX12 enhances the delay between CPU units and boosts the demand for single-thread efficiency to better serve the GPU. It’s unrelated to optimizing for 6 or 8 cores.
