Still, if Skyrim can be patched to use 2 cores at 100% instead of what, 40% that it currently uses, it will be leaps and bounds better. People are OC'ing like crazy because the game refuses to use cores completely. That really shouldn't be necessary.

Criticism
“However, the Intel CPU dispatcher does not only check which instruction set is supported by the CPU, it also checks the vendor ID string. If the vendor string is "GenuineIntel" then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version. ”
