OMFG!I have an i3 and I thought that could handle anything!
Looks like I´m starting to get outdated...

Now you mention it...

i5 2.6 - that would an i5-750?

Doesn't work out with the 2.6 amd pendant(x4@2.6= 925/910) though.

I am confused.

Yeah, i5-750. 2,66GHz at stock speed.

Lots of headroom and can be easily overclocked. This kits running at 3,8 on air. Hopefully CoD shouldn't be to much of a handbrake initially.

still, any AMD X4 around 2.6 is nowhere near the i5.

Correct. Seeing as the X2 with 2.6GHz is 3 generations behind, it does seem strange that they advertise comparable requirements that way. Looking at Tom's chart it should read...

(Intel Core i5-750 2.67GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 975 3.6GHz recommended) or...

(Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 910e 2,6GHz recommended).

I'm starting to think it was a Ubi typo. They probably meant 3.6GHz instead of 2.6GHz - which would be the first option.

Just the HARD-CORE ...

Sorry...smart money is that a quad core will be a worthwhile investment - judging by the recommended specs.

Doubt if more than that will be worthwhile.

Valid question which I also would like to know the answer for.. It's crucial to know if you are in to buying new hardware for the game as there are 6 core desktop CPU's on the market nowadays (Opteron/Phenom and i7/Xeon). If the game only supports up to 4 cores (threads) then you don't have to look at 6 or 8 core CPU, not even the Sandy Bridge i7 2600 with Hyperthreading.. Might as well stick with Phenom X4 or i5 2500K and overclock them to hell.

You wont need to overclock any high end processors. Just get an X6 and leave it be.
