Some thoughts on a potential build...

[Stefano Zibell]

Hey All,

If fsx is core intensive why not 6 instead of 4 cores?

Just wondering what I am missing...

FSX probably (almost surely) uses one single core. Adding cores/threads does nothing at all, fsx wise.

Additional cores help with scenery loading in FSX. Whether a hexa core CPU will produce a notable difference as compared to a quad core CPU, however, is another subject.
