future games will actually be more CPU dependant.

why? well because the new trend in videogames is Physics and particles.
do you guys remember the physics cards that were released a couple years ago?
well all the physics now can be done with multi-cored CPUs.
and since we're dealing with many independant particles, alot of stuff can be done in parallel, and thus can done using multiple cored CPUs.

for example, explosions with "live" dust and particles flying all over the place.
Traditionally, explosions were done using a pre-rendered animation.
But now they can be done in real-time with the real dirt & particles in the game.

also the complex physics of water particles and fluid can be done on the extra cores.
so unless you like playing "flat" games, you'll want to get a mult-cored cpu.
