It'll never be good.
AMD single core performance is poor, Intels is much better and you see the impact of that in games as most games aren't multithreaded. As soon as you run multithreaded programs you see the gap between Intel and AMD balance and in a lot of cases AMDs 8 core CPUs out perform intels Quad cores which are more expensive. So using like archiving, encoding or stuff like photoshop or whatever, AMDS CPUs always do well... just games seem to be in the dark ages. I can only think of BF3, Crysis and Civ 5 that are multithreaded.
I have an I7 970 the 6 core version and the game uses 90% of 1 core, barely anything of the rest which one sits at 40% and the other 4 at nothing, HT isn't even touched........
Yet the game tells me my CPU is the bottleneck, if I play BF3 all cores are at like 80% lol.
SOE will never fix the issue, they never have done in any of their past games.
