Yes, in terms of multi-threading, most definitely. Win8 will apparently correctly schedule tasks to suit the architecture, much like Win7 currently does with Intel’s HyperThreading. There may well be a future patch for Win7 to address this, like the DualCoreOptimizer for XP. The problem I have is it’s single thread capability – its performance in this aspect is slightly worse than my current cpu, and until games become truly multi-threaded, this issue will remain relevant. I doubt that this could be improved much by software optimisation.
