    Are there any popular games out there that can even use 8 cores? I can’t think of any.

      Can use? Yes, some can. Need? No, plus, 10yo+ games freak out with too many cores, such as Prototype 2

      A lot of games have fully multithreaded components (for physics or navigation for example). So they can use any amount of cores. Its pretty rare to see a game max out all cores on such a system since they are usually limited by something else first.
