GPU socket coming

Dual-core and multi-core processors are going to be used to their fullest, once developers start designing with them in mind.

It's actually quite easy to make full use of a multicore design. All that you need to do is increase the amount of processing for processes that are easily parallelizable, such as physics or AI.

What's not easy is taking a game designed for a single-core setup and get it to use a multi-core setup efficiently.

Yes that's what I was saying, while we wait utilize the power for something else...thought that waiting period may only be a few short months
