In my particular situation, I was playing one of the quick missions and recorded the CPU-usage with perfmon for about 1 hour. The log shows that both physical cores do not get over 55% load, the load on both (virtual) threads have been much lower.




So how would the game benefit from additional two physical cores, if the already existing two are not fully used at all?
In one of the patches the devs added a feature so the game uses one core for textures only. This will give quad+ cores a benefith.
1st core for for OS
2nd core CloD
3rd core for textures
4th core for porn (joke)

Hopefully we will see more optimization in coming patches.
