Dragon age origins apparently gets upto 75% boost multicore proccessors compared to dual cores.
Dragon Age: Origins CPU benchmarks - 75 percent boost for quad-cores - Dragon Age Origins, CPU, Benchmark, Performance - PC Games Hardware
Games are increasingly getting optimized for multicores. So, which would be the better bet, Phenom 2 X2 550BE(4mb L3) or Athlon 2 X4 620(no L3), both priced around 5400 rs appx, assuming grapics card remain the same and next possible processor change would be 2 years later.
Gfx card would be upgraded next year.
For games utilizing max 2 cores, the 550 BE leads all the way.
What would you guys suggest?
