Dano: How is Cliffs of Dover optimised for multicore systems? Is there an upper limit on the number of cores supported?
We didn’t focus on multicore support while developing the game, but we do run the game in multiple threads. Depending on your CPU, these threads will be split between available cores. There’s no upper limit to the number of supported cores, but you will see little improvement past four cores because additional threads are pretty light.

Hence no need for HT i7's or six core AMD-s. If you really want AMD, best if you can wait till late June when the new CPU-s are coming out from AMD.
