I need some clarification and truth.

Greetings again. This post is to ask nicely to our Stardock Devs about Gal Civ III. I have been in Alpha and have logged over 1100 hours in GCIII. I rememeber reading that Frogboy said that Gal Civ III will utilize a thread for each ai in the game and that a system with 20 threads will process the ai 'faster' than a system with 4 threads. Which leads me to this recent article from Tweaktown about intels Skylake X line hopefully released near the end of this year.

I take issue with this paragraph.....


"We should expect Intel to launch its seemingly watered down competitor to AMD's revolutionary Ryzen processor - even compared to Intel's latest and greatest which is nearly a year away, with no mention of anything AI-related or next-generation over the current Z270 chipset, which is a much cheaper mainstream part. No games will use the will power of a 10-core processor, and there's only 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes, marking a shift away from multi-GPU setups (at least for now)."


My understanding is that both Ashes of the Singularity and Gal Civ III would make use of such a processor and benefit from it over say an I6700K. 



Would it be possible to hear from you tech folks at Stardock and clear it up?
