I've run with an i7 3930k and it used as many Cores as I could throw at. So I wouldn't recommend anything less than an i5 2500
Could it mean that:
1) XIV won't benefit much from that many threads,
2) but the specific process that deals with characters can?
Ie. XIV is more of a single-core/thread game whereas the characters process benefits from all threads available? So if I want to keep a good framerate in Idyllshire, I need as much threads as possible; and they'll keep quiet in 4-player dungeons?
