Single core better than dual core in gaming?

I heard a single core CPu is better than a dual core in gaming because most of the games out there only support single core.


is that true? So i should get a pentium 4 instead of a core 2 duo =.=?

Don't invest in old technology.


There are already games available that can take full advantage of dual core technology ... %26amp; more are surely on the way.





Your older games will run just as well on a mid to high end dual core PC.

Reply:Core 2 Duo is the best CPU to get right now. There are some artificial cpu tests that will show better performance from an Pentium D than a Core 2--but those are only testing cpu speed, not actual performance. The only reason to get a Pentium would be for a bottom dollar budget. Check out the link for some comparisons.
