Single core vs multi core

[Hopper64]

Does great battles utilize multi cores or simply single core on the CPU? Thanks.

Single core.

That’s what I thought but some suggested the game does use multiple cores. Thanks.

IL-2 GB has many threads running in multiples cores in parallel, but it looks that there is one or two threads which are the heavy ones, and they fully load the core where they are running. That´s why IL-2 depends a lot of the single-core performance.

That is true for pretty much every game. There is usually one thread with the game loop that is run for every frame that is drawn. The performance of that thread tends to determine the the performance of the CPU side.
