Games are still mainly single threaded programs so they aren't able to take advantage of dual cores.

It's not. They're trying to making out the value for money is better than dual cores (specifically aimed at Intel's Conroes I should imagine, if this is an offer actually coming from AMD), but they worded it all wrong anyway, even without saying "fuck Intel, their Conroes might beat our top dual cores, but we're going to make sure the cheaper market goes for us instead of them".
