And that's because currently game development still hinges almost exclusively on GPU/VGA card development. Generally, you get more mileage out of the latest cards rather than the latest CPUs when it comes to end user apps like games.
But those new multicore CPUs will be a boon for research, server usage and content production, whether it be music, CGI, digital imagery, video encoding/editing, etc.
Games will probably be the last sector to see big benefits relative to the additional costs.
