Hmmm... looks like their new engine has been designed to scale with increasing number of threads. I suppose it's not that surprising considering the consoles have 8 cores. I would have thought a quad core i5 would be more than powerful enough to compensate though.

Or it could just be like other PC games where they recommend quad cores but never use more than 2 threads at a time.

I mostly agree with your last sentence. They may recommend 8 cores assuming that the game will need at least 4 and with the OS and other programs (like Uplay) are already using 1, that leaves them needing a 5 core CPU that doesn't exist, and instead of going with 6 they jump straight to 8.
