Contemporary gaming tests show that Skulltrail is completely out of range here. In all tests we performed, Skulltrail loses to a single-processor system with Core 2 Extreme QX9770 processor. And it happens not only in those games that do not support multi-threading, but also in such titles as Unreal Tournament 3 and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition that are pretty well optimized for multi-core systems. The explanation of this phenomenon is evident: the system should be well-balanced and have no bottlenecks like the memory subsystem in Skulltrail platform, only then it will run fast.
