Youtube. Okay. You said an i3 will triple the results Lawndart had, but you cannot prove it.
Look, it's real easy. an i3 CPU is an i7 CPU with some of the cores defeated. There is nothing about an i3 system that inherently says it will beat an i7. Nothing. If a program uses the same number of cores the two processors will get about the same results. There will be moderate discrepancies as you may have noted in the results posted at Anandtech. The difference comes in when the CPU is able to gear up and use the extra cores. In those cases the i3 will be left behind.
AH2 uses a single core, I believe. Neither you, nor I, can say if AH3 will use, one, two, or more cores. I do not think that the HTC team is willing to say yet, but when they do it is probably that the game will use two cores (I'm guessing), but I believe that clock speed will continue to be more important. So, probably an i3 will be fine for AH3, but we still do not know. Until we do know I suggest you stop telling people that an i3 is all they need.
For me, I need more than two cores.
