Now here is a question. AMD has been slaughtered by benchmark tests against Intel, when testing it with games such as Battlefield 4, in such, For instance the AMD FX 9530 8 core CPU against the Intel i7 4770k 4 core CPU was very close to being the same with Intel having a slight advantage.
Here is the question, with a game such as Galactic Civilizations III designed specifically for more CPU cores will this make a difference for AMD or will it be the same or similar results?
I don't know the specifics and don't even begin to know, but I thought it poses an interesting question.
