According to AMD, we’re at an inflection point where games such as Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2 are being optimized for multiple cores, right alongside the content creation and productivity applications. Seeing as though the FX lineup is the one associated with gaming, it’s apparently apropos to complement a slowly growing cadre of titles with a gaming processor to match. It’ll naturally take years before all games get the same treatment, whether through a patch or via ground-up development. But AMD wants to be there from the outset, giving gamers one more choice when it comes to choosing a solid CPU backbone.
