On the day Intel Corporation introduced its Core™ 2 Extreme processor QX6800, the company's twelfth quad-core processor offering, ACES' Phil Taylor announced the FSX Service Pack 1 (SP1), due out later this month, is expected to take full advantage of multi-core support.

According to Taylor's blog, "Our multi-core support will take advantage of both two and four cores today and more cores in the future when they become available via a config setting. This is for both Intel and AMD processors." Taylor added that single core users will also see performance improvements with the release of SP1.
