Skyrim is incredibly dependent on a fast processor, to such an extent that even with the fastest available processor you will still very often find it to be the limiting performance factor in your game. In order to accommodate a new processor, you often have to buy a new motherboard, which can severely effect the "bang-for-your-buck" aspect of upgrading your CPU. The minimum recommendations for upgrading when purchasing for AMD you'll want an FX-Series (Zambezi) or for Intel a Core I5 (Ivy Bridge) unless you already have a sandy bridge in which case just stick with it. The closer you can get to 4Ghz (higher is faster) the better and as for multi-core, Skyrim uses the first 2 pretty effectively and after that the value for each additional core seems to be geometrically diminished. | Skyrim is incredibly dependent on a fast processor, to such an extent that even with the fastest available processor you will still very often find it to be the limiting performance factor in your game.
