Makes sense. The CPUs are the weakest links of all three current gen systems.

But the game is not CPU bound... an old Dual-core on PC sustain it at 60fps.

PC performance tests indicate that it doesn't use much multithreading (or at all) and that it's highly dependent on the performance per core. A i3 dual core with 3.5 GHz was better than a AMD 8 core with 5.0 GHz. A single i3 Intel core @ 3.5 GHz is actually more powerful than a single AMD FX core @ 5 GHz (in other benchmarks). Now imagine an AMD CPU at 1.6 GHz...
