Yeah there are only like 20 cores in intels i3 igp versus the like 300 something that the A10-7850 has,the more cores a card has the more calls you can send it at once.

Some of us still have AM3+ mobos with a Thuban in them. Like me.
Given the advent of DX12 and improved multi-threading in terms of draw calls and drivers, and hopefully the games themselves, would a Thuban @ 3.5 out-perform a G3258 @ 3.6?
Edit: I realize that an OCed Haswell i5 is probably better than both, but that's not the question.
DX-12 will be the death of Dual Cores for Gaming at last.
These draw call benches are the equivalent to cinebench and similar benches,they only show the potential of a CPU to spew out IPC,higher cine scores (in multi) do not equal faster games and neither will this.
Games will still depend on speed for everything else except for sending commands to the vga.
If anything dual cores (and quads and hexas and everyone) will get faster due to DX12,because the vga driver thread will disappear(yust like mantle) lightening the load.
m8 that's THIEF running Mantle. And even the old quad cores show a serious advantage, just look at minimum FPS in both Mantle charts
Both Q9450 and Athlon 750K is faster than 3.2GHz Dual Core Haswell. DX-12 will be the death of Dual Cores for Gaming at last.
Now granted the Intel chip was overclocked and maybe BF4 doesn't implement Mantle in the an ideal fashion?
@ TheELf
That is just not true. BF4 is running MUCH better on 4 threaded CPUs (i3 and 2M Athlons included) Vs Celerons and intel pentium crap (pardon the expression).
If by perfectly fine you consider the stutter fest that is produced then sure .BF4 runs perfectly fine on the pentium.

A10-5800K with only the iGPU and 1866MHz memory on Win 8.1 64bit.
This is on 48 player MT map and not single player.
BF4 is a 2 threaded game* + driver thread (which disappears when running mantle leaving the resources to be split between the two main threads) but shhh don't tell anyone.
You explain to me why battlefield 4 only has two threads maxed!Then explain the gap in performance between a Phenom II quad and a Phenom II hex.

Aten-ras picture supports this also,2 cores at max is 50% of the cpu + the graphics driver and whatever else is running and you get the ~80% usage of a quad core that he is showing.
BF4 doesnt use only 2 threads, get your facts straight.
You're halfway there, doubleclick on bf4.exe and go to the threads tab.64 player map, A10-5800K with the iGPU only. Cat 14.12 win 8.1 64bit
