I know AMD made 6 core processors but when I first read that they were making the 6 core, I also heard on tiger direct that they had 12 core being made. and was wondering when that comes out. I mean that would take games to limits beyond imagination. @_@

    AMD already makes a 12-core processor. It's called the Magny-Cours, and it's for servers.

    Anything more than about 4 cores is presently useless for games.

    Does the economic law of diminishing returns not apply in some sense to the number of cores as well? I mean it really depends on the software/application of the cpu, but I think the advantage of each additional core is less than the one before it. Any truth to this or am I making stuff up?
