System Specs

Three cores is currently ideal, hence why quads beat duals in modern games.
The reason for three cores, is because of the stupid xbox360, if a game is going to be on that, it won't be coded for anymore than three cores be it ported to or from pc.
There are a very very few number of games that make use of four threads properly.

Thankfully new consoles are like, going to be eight core + so finally the consoles wont be holding back video game progress.
