PS3 vs PC

[Pseudopsia]

I changed my wording a bit to diminishing returns instead of pointless. I did purposely went for a hex core CPU since I know FFXIV 1.0 does somewhat take advantage of Multi Core CPUs, and like I said I'm made of money. However it's not great, it's like 15% more performance with 50% more cores. However, AMD piledriver CPUs don't seem to get the same benefit because of the low IPC(Instructions per cycle) combined with the poor threading of FFXIV.

Below is a screen shot that demonstrates the poor threading with old benchmark. Notice one logical core is maxed out. CPU is running at 4.5 Ghz with 2400 Mhz ram XMP profile.
