replyi don't buy it, system specs are so far fetched these days. these look very similar to what i was told i would need for L4D, and my athlon 3200 with 2gb ram and a geforce 6800 runs l4d at 50+fps at 1280x960 with high shader/textures... and Prince of Persia games tend to have fairly simple environments, and limited numbers of models running around...

it's like the explosion of dual-core processing has excused the developers from trying to write efficient game engines...
-
Ehh, not really, no. The explosion of dual-core processing has forced developers to write efficient game engines. The rapid escalation of clock speeds in the Pentium 4 days gave developers a free ride and removed the need to optimize their code. That ended when dual cores became the norm and clock speeds stabilized, forcing programmers to write code that's well threaded.
-
Uhh. What? You do know that a singe core of a C2D will smoke all but the highest end P4. Not to mention the P4's were routinely trounced by lower clocked AMD chips back in the day.
-
Yeah. And?
Of course the Core 2 architecture is more efficient clock for clock than Netburst was. That has little to do with the number of cores - if there was a Core 2 Single, it would also trounce a Pentium 4.
The "explosion of dual-core processing" has indeed put pressure on programmers to produce more efficient code. If they fail to do so, they end up with half the power of a C2D being unused, or three quarters in the case of a Quad.
This was not the case in the Netburst era. Programmers could feel free to be lazy, because they could safely assume that each new processor would make their software run faster. They can't do that when processors are moving forward with thread level parallelism instead of instruction level parallelism or raw clock speed.

You can overclock that Q6600 pretty easy to 3Ghz+. Just make sure you got the cooling for it.

i was more-so commenting on the fact that they are telling you that you need way more computer than you do to run these games, as developers have been doing basically since dual-core cpu's came out... just promoting hardware sales...
but... whatever.

this is completely false.
-
What single core CPU is faster?
-
dual core procs aren't faster unless the software is written for it.... am i wrong?

My singlecore Anthlon 3000+ stick 2ghz and now @ 2.4gghz with 2gb of ram and an HD 2600 Pro will run this fine. I can max out all current games, far cry 2, fallout 3. System requirements are shit. It's for the hardware makers.
