Well, at first gamers said dual-core chips are useless. Then that quad-core chips are useless. Now they're testing waters with octa-core chips.

Game developers have always made a good use of the available resources. They'll use the extra power available. The newest techniques they have, like work stealing queues, can scale to a large number of cores.

So games and gamers will use the extra cores. It's much less of a jump from 4 cores to 16 than from 1 to 2.

Give it a year or two.
