I would test that indeed. Games are often designed/optimized for very
simple dual/quad core cases (number increasing, though). There also
exist six-core C32 K10 processors, and, IIRC, they had a dedicated FPU
per core. Maybe it's worth testing them as well, if you have a game
that makes use of more than 4 threads.
