What people making rumors like this don't understand is CPU's....at all. Games have hit a wall at a little over 4 cores. There can be 100 threads, but only 3 or 4 threads actually chew up CPU time (Rendering, Physics, big stuff like that) while user input, sound, and little stuff don't need dedicated cores. Just a few years ago devs figured out how to thread the rendering thread into multiple cores but its HARD to do. You can't just split it into 16 cores and go ZOMG GRAPHIZ. 4 or 6 is all it needs for epic ZOMG GRAPHIZ especially if it has a shit GPU. But don't tell the kiddies that!
