I demonstrated that it does not scale over 4 cores (ppl with 4 cores do actually report 100% usage). That does not mean it could not be faster on different arch (this arch having more cores or less).
I am not talking about final game performance (the worst quad will run battlefield 3 almost as fast as the best). Frostbite 2 is the first game engine I have seen that seems to chunk up workloads in smaller pieces. This is something new and that means a shift in how games are beeing developed. More games will follow and they move away from one single render thread and starts to use available cores on the cpu.
