Falcon 4.0: Allied Force is a processor-intensive game. Its advanced avionics, real-time dynamic campaign engine and complex artificial intelligence routines drain CPU cycles. The more grunt in the CPU, the better. Dual cores work particularly well because they allow the most processor-intensive routines to be balanced across two cores, thereby easing the strain. This boosts frame rates and helps mitigate the drop in frame rates during the most intensive action.
