Multi core processor support in CoD

[Flying Pencil]

With multi core CPU's being made for some time and relatively inexpensive, is CoD designed to take advantage of it?

This is more then asking generic system specs, but some performance detail, since Intel now makes several versions of its iSeries chips in dual and quad core. And then AMD has tri-core.

(If this was asked before I have not seen it.)


A bit of a different question, is it the publisher (UBI) deciding on the system specs and not 1C? If it was 1C, wouldn't they have said it already?

no multicore support, they were too busy working on DX8 support.

Sorry, I know I'm not funny.

Yes there will be multicore support. I believe it's been confirmed (search).

Expect system specs will be given to Ubi by 1C but as the game isn't finished and 1C are doing heavy optimisations they can't give specs till it's done.

I think (not 100%) but the last few weeks and months the Devs spend bug fixing, optimising like crazy and this is usually when they can lock down the specs for gold.

I expect a Dual will run it ok, till you get lots of stuff going on (lots of other aircraft) and a quad will be better. Ram you want to be looking at 4GB reall and Graphics a DX11, 5850 a good starting point.

Please note, these are no way accurate as no one really knows yet. Just ball park guestimates.

Ilya has announced on FB that they'll be releasing system specs soon.

Wow thats very good to hear!

I wonder if we can monitor the rise in HW sales hours after the official system spec announcement?

lol facebook.

Still - excellent news.

Of course they will have dual core support, standard is 4 cores now, by 2012 will be 6 or 8 (high range 32nm intel and the new AMD Bulldozer). Not that this is 8+ threads since each core is also 2 virtualy cores. So real question is will they support hyperthreading?

Hopefully the engine can be edited so that it works on hexa and octacore efficiently.
