Certain games really love quad cores these days...mostly the expansive sandbox city games that require a lot of CPU power like GTA IV.

The Mafia II demo just came out on steam and the recommended requirements are a Q6600.

Anyone still stuck on a single core or first generation dual core is going to find themselves quite bottlenecked as well. When I was on my S939 CPU the bottleneck was definetely my CPU as overclocking my videocard resulted in no better performance at all.
