Game's engine was designed with no foresight in mind, little to none whatsoever. Therefore it will never get proportionally better with a better cpu, even if the cpu has more cores etc. What does matter is core POWER the power of EACH CORE. This is why if you wanna play bns decent enough you'll need a cpu with very good single core performance. Cause, like others also said, the game only utilizes probably two cores at most and most cpus nowadays are quad and up(which usually perform better with all cores being used and worse in single core use)...also most cpus nowadays also have better SINGLE CORE performance and sadly most if not all of these cpus are intel only. I say sadly because that means they get to charge a premium since no one else is doing it. Once this continues they'll keep price gouging gamers, like majority of the gaming industry does anyway xD
