    The problem with quad-cores is that even most RTS games, which are the pinnacle of CPU intensive, don't support more than 2 cores. I don't even believe the latest Empire: Total War supports it, let alone Sins of a Solar Empire, or even the much older turn-based Galactic Civilizations II, which get get very CPU intensive if you tell it to (considered the best AI of any game).
