Well, I'm finally going to get the new processor I was supposed to get last christmas (I wasn't able to before because my grades weren't good enough). But I was wondering, is now a good time to get a dual core CPU, or should I stick to single core for now? I know in terms of speed in current games an FX would be better unless the games utilize heavy multithreading. However, if a lot of games are going to come out soon that do this, maybe getting one wouldn't be such a bad idea. The way I see it, multithreading is the way of the future for game code. The archetecture of the 360 and PS3 will practically require programmers to move in that direction, so doesn't it stand to reason that PC gaming will soon follow? What do you guys think?
Also, I heard there will be dual core FX CPUs pretty soon too. Should I maybe just wait to get one of them?
