Well I am not a game programmer but I use a lot of computing resources, scientific HPC. What I was commenting on was purely that you can not load enough data from main memory to on chip cache to feed multiple cores unless you get a lot of reuse of data. That means that for some problems, not sure if this includes games, your going to be fine but if your loading lots of data from main memory your not getting a lot of usage out of all your cores as it is because they are waiting on data being loaded from main memory or a lower cache. Until you have this solved though adding a whole bunch more cores does not help solve certain problems even if they are a parrallel problems.
