AMD seems to be banking on game developers taking advantage of more than two cores relatively soon—and on gamers and enthusiasts being excited about the prospect of having four cores cranking away. AMD mentioned the in-development game from CryTek, Crysis, as a probable showpiece for 4x4 systems. CryTek has put a lot of work into taking good advantage of multiple cores via multithreading, and Crysis may help persuade gamers that four CPU cores are good to have.

then the problem exists that with current A64 CPUs in singlecore, we have plenty of CPU power for games, using dualcores should give another 50% at least on the power we have atm and with AF/AA being used all the time today, we are GPU limited for a long time
