Second note, I'm not the one who is saying that this game benefit a lot from L2 cache but AnandTech is saying that! just look at the other pages.

Wrong. If some games can't utilize all 4 cores it only utilizes 2. Otherwise there would be no point to buying a quadcore if it either ****s up and doesn't work or only gives you 2fps more.

From looking at the test, it does utilize 3-4 cores, however it doesnt make effective use of all 4. It's just like when games became multi-threaded, where the difference was only 5-15FPS.
